Book Synopsis
Author Julie Fillinger says, "As long as there's pain and suffering in the world, there's a need for us to tell our stories, and this is mine." In Courage to Live Julie shares the raw, honest story of her survival after the death of her oldest son. She describes her grief journey during which she discovered joy and sorrow can coexist and God's grace is sufficient. She shares practical ways she managed her grief, and discusses what others did and did not do to help during her journey. God's plan for living eternally is her "not so secret" secret for survival. Julie's wisdom and faith inspire courage and endurance through suffering, so you emerge stronger than you imagined, with lasting, sustaining Hope.
About the Author:
Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, I lived a good life. I enjoyed college, started my nursing career, got married and had children. The unimaginable event that devastated my world occurred when my beloved son Nicholas died at only 16. By God's grace, I am not only surviving, but also learning how to really live again. Now my mission is to minister and instill courage and hope into people who are hurting, and to help them realize they are stronger than they ever thought possible.
