Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

When you suffer a loss, you enter the realm of "used to be." You used to be married. You used to be employed. You used to be pregnant, secure, healthy, sober. You used to be a son or daughter, a brother or sister, a mother or father, a husband or wife. And in that used-to-be space, you can feel stuck. Though you may dwell there for a while, it's not a place you are meant to remain. With this book, pastor Chuck Elliott and counselor Ashley Elliott light the path to a better future. Sharing biblical advice and proven mental health techniques, they help you learn how to fully feel and face your grief, hold on to your faith, and develop healthy ways to see yourself, your life, and your loved ones. They offer coping strategies for when moving forward seems impossible and guide you toward building new thinking patterns that will result in healing and growth. If you "used to be" something, it's not the end of the road. It's up to you to decide what you "will be" in the future.
