Overcoming the Overcast is a deeply moving and practical guide for anyone navigating the murky waters of grief. Dr. Amanda McNeil weaves her personal experiences with faith and neuroscience, creating a roadmap for healing that feels both compassionate and empowering. Her insights into why our brains struggle with loss and how God’s promises anchor us are eye-opening, and the practical exercises were a lifeline for me. This book reminded me that grief and hope can coexist and that healing is possible, even when the pain feels insurmountable.

Okay, real talk: Overcoming the Overcast isn’t your average “grin and bear it” grief book. Dr. Amanda gets it — the heartbreak, the questions, the “God, where are you?” moments. Her mix of science, Scripture, and raw honesty felt like a warm hug and a firm nudge all in one. I loved how she didn’t just slap a Bible verse on grief but gave actual steps to process it. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the storm, this book is the lighthouse you need. 🌦️🙏💛
