A Hard Journey to the Good

A story of a young widow on a whirlwind journey to find the goodness of God.

Walking out into the world with a new title of widow was choking her out. She felt unrelatable and awkward. She struggled to reconnect with a world that no longer included her husband. She was only breathing because it was automatic; if she had a choice, she may have chosen to go with him.

*How was she supposed to continue taking care of her grieving boys while also grappling with a loss so tight she couldn’t see straight?

*She knows God is good, but she can’t see it. She knows God promises to work all things for good, but her future is a bleak, black hole.

*Would a good, loving God allow this?

* Will she ever feel joy again?

In her debut book, A Hard Journey to the Good, Heidi shares her memoir of caretaking, loss, new life, and new love. Widowhood is bitterly complex, but Heidi gracefully shares her raw experiences with navigating losing her first love while being forced to process complex relationships, raising grieving children, and striving to rebuild her life with what felt like the world watching.

Heidi’s journey from loss to new life will inspire you to seek God and His goodness no matter what loss you have experienced. She encourages anyone who is grieving to keep your eyes on God, for there is goodness to be found.
