Books + Devotionals

Below is a list of the books + devotionals we read in the first year after losing our daughter. These books ministered to our hearts, provided answers to some of our questions, and reminded us that we aren't alone. 

Podcasts

Scroll down to find a few of my favorite podcasts I (Sarah) listened to in the early months after losing Finley. I don't listen to podcasts as much as I enjoy reading, but they are worth a listen if you are needing to hear from someone else who gets "lifelong grief".

Blog Posts

Whether someone sent it to us or we stumbled upon it, these blogs served as a lifeline during the hardest of hard days. Each is written with such grace, love, wisdom, and for the purpose of speaking life back into a broken heart.
