About the Book

Grief is a life changer. It’s a life experience that everyone will have to endure at some point in time. Most of us live our lives in knowing this, but when a loss occurs, we can still be blindsided and spiritually crushed by it. Once a tragedy occurs, grief takes you on a journey, and you must go reluctantly, along for the ride. Sometimes kicking and screaming, other times stoic and numb. But grief will be with you…always. The inception of #somethinggoodeveryday was a cry out to God to help make sense of something that seemed so unfair and senseless. It was an attempt to get an answer or a comforting notion that this situation would change, and that it would turn out to my liking. The posts and pictures did not change what was to happen…but they did eventually change me. Little whispers everyday about who God is, His love, His trustworthiness and His comfort started raining down like a welcome thunderstorm after a drought. I drank it in, shared it when I could on social media and finally compiled a portion of what I wrote down and posted, of walking through each day with this intruder called grief ever at my side and looking for something good every day. The grief walk is not easy, it’ll challenge you even on the good days. Look for the goodness of God in everyday, it’s there and it will help you process and live with grief in “do-able doses” as you continue on, one step, one breath and every broken, beautiful moment at a time.
