This Changes Everything: When Death No Longer Has the Final Say

What if grief, pain, and loss weren’t the end of your story but the beginning of a new chapter?

When a mother dies abruptly or before their time, daughters are left with an unmet expectation for a future that no longer exists. This Changes Everything revokes the notion that death has the final say and asks the question, what if grief wasn’t the end of your story but the beginning of a new chapter?

Every life contains a story that holds tragic, soul-defining chapters deemed unfair, but fairness isn’t the rule book for the Author of Life, it’s reckless all-consuming love. When grief, especially over the loss of a mother, is viewed through the lens of this unending love, this new view can illuminate a calling or purpose for your life which may otherwise remain locked in the darkness of despair. 

This Changes Everything: When Death No Longer Has the Final Say is based on a true story of hope, healing, and redemption over life’s darkest chapters. It will give readers the courage to follow their God-given calling and help them to see that one choice - to believe their pain has a purpose - changes everything.

This Changes Everything is a perfect read for: 

• Those grieving the loss of a loved one
• Mothers, daughters, and mom’s raising daughters
• Those looking to give their pain a purpose.
