Grief is a sacred journey through the desolate and the divine. A few weeks after my husband's horrific death in southern Mexico, I stared through a wall of windows into the surrounding jungle as the sun rose over the mountains. "Oh God," I cried out. "What am I to do? My life feels totally barren and desolate." In those moments, God spoke to my heart. "I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland." (Isaiah 43:19 NLT) Whether you are reeling from unexpected loss or whether you love someone suffering the agony of grief, Rachel's powerful story has something for you.
