When our world unexpectedly shatters and it becomes immersed in unspeakable pain and grief, life can look empty and void of all reason to hope. As believers in Christ we are reminded that He is our living hope and the pain of today is "but for a moment." Yet how do we reconcile our faith with the daily demands grief puts on us? Is it possible to both grieve well and live out our faith well at the same time? Can we live with both Jesus and grief being active in our lives and still thrive in the aftermath of loss? Can the same God that allowed this to happen still be trusted? In Sustained; grieving in the hands of Jesus, author Hanna Marmalich shares her personal experience and wisdom of trusting God in the midst of the unknown in grief. As she journeyed through her personal testimony of pain, her understanding of God's loving comfort, along with the misconceived ideas she encountered about grief, helped give her insight into why there exists such a struggle for faith and grief to live harmoniously together. Hanna walks through snapshots in time where this struggle appeared in various settings and how God faithfully led her through each one. She addresses the practical interactions with grief that effected her everyday life, to the deep heart wrenching examples of learning to breathe through the waves of grief. Through each bite sized chapter, Hanna reveals how God's nearness to the brokenhearted is a sacred space.
