What We Find in the Dark: Loss, Hope, and God's Presence in Grief - Paperback

by Aubrey Sampson (Author)

None of us is exempt from loss. We lose what we expected, what we thought we believed, our sense of security or identity. We lose friendships. We lose people we love.

What do we do with the disruption, disorientation, and devastation of loss? How do we survive unpredictable grief, ongoing suffering, and the questions about God that happen in the dark nights of our lives? In What We Find in the Dark, author and pastor Aubrey Sampson writes through the illness and death of her best friend, offering raw, real, and fought-for spiritual wisdom and practical insights for loss, grief, and doubt. What We Find in the Dark not only helps us locate ourselves on the journey of loss but gives honesty, hope, and direction for what's ahead.

What We Find in the Dark includes:

• Authentic and resonant stories and insights,
• Compelling and powerful "sticky statements" that encapsulate transformative concepts,
• Reflective practices and exercises.

None of us want to be in seasons of sorrow. But sometimes the dark nights of life and faith have strange gifts. On the other side, we find ourselves free from the superficial in our lives. We discover peace and the assurance that we are loved. And we experience a deeper, more honest relationship with the God we found in the dark. But until that time comes, you do not need to journey alone. Learn to walk through the darkness while holding onto hope.
