Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the e-arc. This is a stunning book charting a course and guide through the darkness of grief with brutal honesty that leaves hope behind. A must read for anyone in pain.

“You are healing even as you are hurting,” writes Aubrey Sampson—and then she leads readers both into, and out of, the abyss to which loss took her. By her own example, Aubrey gives us all the liberty to grieve uniquely, profoundly, and for however long it takes. I believe this book is so powerful because it’s not a formulaic “how-to.” Instead, it’s an experiential guide through blinding darkness. Sampson’s intimate chronology of her bone-aching sorrow roused pockets of my own unfinished griefs. And in her voice-giving of raw pain, her tender acceptance of it, and the grace she offers for the process of healing, my own heartaches mended a bit more. This book brought me to the very best of tears.

Darkness, dark night of the soul…midnight. Need a bit of light to help you navigate your way through grief? This book will offer you kindness and comfort through some of your darkest days.

“Grief is its own kind of pilgrimage. Your job, when you are ready, is to start looking. Notice the ways God is coming toward you in the darkness with love.”
