Leaning on Faith: A Guided Grief Workbook from Heartbreak to Healing

Leaning on Faith: A Guided Grief Workbook from Heartbreak to HealingBy Nicole Estelle RomanThey said the loss of a child leaves a wound too deep to heal. I am living proof that God can restore even the deepest grief, and I want to walk with you through yours.When my husband and I lost our daughter Sophia to cancer, the grief was unbearable. We retreated into sorrow. We struggled to understand each other while carrying a pain that felt impossible to bear. Scripture was quoted. People said, “Time will heal.” Nothing filled the gaping hole in our hearts. We longed for a lifeline, a gentle hand to guide us through the valley of the shadow of death and help us emerge with hope, faith, and restoration.From the desire to give others the guidance we so desperately needed came my first book, How My Faith Brought Me Through – Sickness to Death, Heartache to Healing, which shared how I applied my faith during Sophia’s illness and passing. Leaning on Faith now brings that guidance into a practical, hands-on workbook you can work through day by day. This is not theory. These are the steps I took to live again, grounded in scripture, reflection, intentional heart work, and prayer.Grief can trap the heart like quicksand, leaving us stuck in despair and numbness.

Through guided exercises, scripture, and my personal journey, you’ll navigate waves of sorrow, honor your emotions, release pain, and open your heart to joy again.Healing doesn’t follow a straight path.
