In this chapter...

Have you ever found yourself wondering if life will ever feel normal again?

Maybe you've experienced a loss that changed everything. Maybe you're carrying disappointment, uncertainty, or questions that seem to have no answers. You want to move forward, but you're not quite sure where forward is.

I've been there.

In this chapter, I invite you to see your journey through a different lens. One that recognizes that even when life feels paused, God is still at work.

Responding

Why feeling stuck does not mean you've stopped growing or that God has stopped working.

Intimacy
How waiting is not the absence of movement. Sometimes waiting is the movement God is using to prepare us for what comes next.
Enter His Rest
The life-changing truth that God does not simply wait for us to catch up—He waits with us, and even in the waiting, He is still moving.

About The Author

Janis Lewis

Janis Lewis never planned to become a voice of encouragement for grieving hearts. That calling grew out of her own journey through loss, faith, healing, and learning how to move forward one day at a time.

As a widow, author, ministry leader, and follower of Christ, Janis understands what it feels like to face seasons filled with questions, uncertainty, and change. Her passion is helping others discover that they do not have to walk those seasons alone.

Whether through writing, speaking, or gathering people around a table, Janis loves creating spaces where hope can grow, healing can begin, and God's grace can be found in the quiet, unhurried movement of everyday life.

She lives in Jacksonville, Florida, and continues to remind others of the truth she has learned herself: God is closer than we think, and He is still working in the movement.

What People Are Saying

Loss can change our worlds from one moment to the next; our lives will never look the same, but Janis understands what it is to walk with pain for a long time and how to trust God in a season when hopelessness and despair seem present every step of the way. Her encouraging invitations and sweet revelations lead to our inner transformation. In her own words, “ each return is an invitation to trust again, not in the same way as before, but in a way that fits who you are becoming.” If you find yourself wondering whether life will get better and whether you will find hope again, this chapter is for you.

Juanita Ortiz-Phillips

The reader who is a widow will feel seen in deeply impactful ways known only to themselves and God. Janis empathetically illustrates God's presence with those who are grieving, and her story is not only reassuring but filled with hope and grace. Any reader searching for a grief resource for widows--either for personal use or for use in a group setting--will find this and Janis's other books uniquely beneficial and supportive for this time in one's life. It is especially encouraging how Janis wove in God's presence through it all and reminded the reader that He is going with you the whole time, and "faith can survive devastation", as well as the gentle, honest reminder that "love remains."

Kelia Reauchel Lewis

Grief can be a difficult emotion to express, but God has given you the clarity to convey it in ways that provide the language and tools to help someone in grief move forward, as this chapter so effectively demonstrates. The love and encouragement that come through this chapter are truly impactful, and I found myself tearing up as I read it, even though I am not a widow. We have all experienced seasons of grief to some degree.

Vi Carpenter

One of the greatest reminders throughout this book is that healing is a journey. God is present in every step, and we're not failing—we're grieving. That truth alone brings so much hope. This is a book I'll be recommending to others, because I believe it will help readers feel seen, understood, and reminded that there is life beyond grief, even in the darkest seasons. Thank you, Janis, for courageously sharing your story and your heart with us.
