Content Warning: This book deals with loss by suicide and the grief a family endures.
Life has been comfortable for the Miller family. Liz and Josh have devoted their lives to raising their two sons. Their oldest son, Colby, reached adulthood and set out on his own. A few hard knocks sent him back to live with Mom and Dad until life got to be too much, that is. As Liz and Josh grapple with the hole in their hearts left by Colby’s early departure from this world, they find themselves at odds with one another and with their faith.
Will they remember that Jesus is enough in the middle of this dark storm? Will they see through their own pain and help each other and their teenage son, Tyler, learn to live despite the grief?

EXCERPT
“Oh. So that’s how you got into horses,” Tammy mused.
“Well, it wasn’t just that simple. I wanted to sell her immediately. I kept pushing my husband to agree but he just wouldn’t. Every time he would get too tied up with work and ask me to come out here, I’d tell him we had to sell her. I almost went behind his back to sell her. I was frightened by her, and she was a reminder that there were things going on with Colby that I didn’t even know. I’m his mom so I should have known. But Josh wouldn’t budge. He kept asking me to come feed her. After a while, I started getting comfortable with her and started taking lessons from Christy. I still take a lesson every week, but now I ride in between the lessons on my own.”
“It’s like he left you a gift you didn’t know you needed.”
“I guess so. I’ve come to really appreciate Dusty. She soothes my soul. She’s a gift from God, if not from Colby.”

I’ve known several families dealing with this difficult topic–suicide. I’d like to read the book to better understand their grieving process and how I can minister to them.
