Summary
Perhaps you have experienced or are experiencing a series of losses and have questions about when the time will come for you to finally get a break and enjoy a life of freedom, fullness, and fruitfulness. Perhaps your losses have caused you deep pain, anguish, and discouragement. Eight years ago, I experienced depression, despair, and discouragement, as a result of divorce. Nothing I tried in my own human effort could heal my wounds or relieve my pain. But, I finally found my way into a new life of bliss and favor. In this book, I want to share with you my journey of how I survived my losses, hoping that I will help many women (men are welcome to read, too) to also survive their losses and attract divine favor. None of us is immune to pain. Although pain comes naturally, dealing with it does not. Many of us find ourselves self-medicating it using addictive substances or behavior, or masking it and pretending that everything is alright. Unfortunately, these strategies are only temporary and do not offer a lasting solution for us to live a life that is free, fruitful, and full. In this book, I weave my story with transparency using relatable examples from faith and culture and provide readers with the necessary tools to author their own process of dealing with pain and discovering their true inner strength. If you are experiencing pain or loss or are wounded from the suffering you have gone through, this book is for you. The words herein will bring hope, healing, and transformation to your life, and the lives of your loved ones as you share this book. Loss and pain confront all of us. The difference between a winner and a whiner is in the choices that we make when faced by pain. We can choose to whine and self-medicate by masking the pain, developing dysfunctional relationships and harmful addictions. Or, be a winner by embracing the pain and navigating through it successfully by developing a winning mentality and thought process.
