Description
Dear Black woman, you are not alone.
God has not disregarded your pain and suffering. God sees you. God knows you. God understands.
In Black Woman Grief, Natasha Smith unearths a painful reality that is tangled within our nation’s roots and DNA: trauma, loss, and grief are embedded in the lived experience of the Black woman in the United States. Smith talks about grief that is specifically applicable to Black women, providing them with affirmation and a safe place to exhale. Yet, amid a broken world and broken systems that have weighed down Black women for generations, Smith reminds us that there is hope because the kingdom of God is at hand. In Black Woman Grief, Natasha Smith
- takes us readers through narrative and biblical truths
- provides a space made by and for Black women to be seen and understood by God
- encourages Black women to live a God-filled life in a grief-filled world
Advance Praise
"I believe this is a very timely and relevant topic that is needed for this generation. This book is a gift to Black women everywhere."
-Jacqueline Horbrook, founder and CEO of Black Christian Influencers
"Natasha Smith's book is a much-needed welcome home to those who have joined the mass exodus of Black women leaving the church in search of other forms of comfort. It is through her words that we remember our Savior sees and cares for us through the grief we carry. May we all remember a day is coming when our Lord will wipe away our tears for good."
-Liv Dooley, Bible teacher and podcast host of The Best Kept Secret with Liv Dooley
"Natasha Smith's voice is safe, prophetic, and deeply necessary. With gravitas and love, Black Woman Grief honors the depths of pain that Black women carry and the collective experience of suffering, while moving the reader towards unapologetic kingdom hope and healing."
-Aubrey G Sampson, pastor, podcaster, and author of The Louder Song and Big Feelings Days
"In Black Woman Grief, Natasha Smith provides a safe place for Black women to address what's grieving us while taking us by the hand and gently paving a path toward wholeness. Through biblical wisdom, healthy practical examples, and her personal lived experiences with grief, Natasha reframes the idea of the strong Black woman, provides language to our pain, and gives every woman who feels like she's drowning in grief a lifeline of hope. This book is a gift to the Black woman's soul and is more necessary than ever."
-Christina Patterson, founder and president of Beloved Women
"This book is a love letter to Black women who grieve, and a roadmap for those who know and love Black women who grieve."
-Quantrilla Ard, author, speaker, and grief coach at It's All Grief to Me, from the foreword
