When the Miracle Doesn't Happen: How to Survive Loss and Find Purpose in the Pain - Paperback

Jalesa always dreamed of experiencing the joys of life with her mother by her side: visits with grandchildren, chaotic holidays, and family trips. Instead, just a few months after her 29th birthday, she experienced the loss of her mother. In When the Miracle Doesn't Happen, Jalesa recounts the last year she spent with her mother who was diagnosed with cancer.

Jalesa explores the deep things inherent in loss:

• How do you cope with grief when you believed for a miracle?
• Do you rage and cry?
• Do you blame God?
• Do you let bitterness take over?
• Or do you find healing and accept what you cannot change?

With an honest and vulnerable viewpoint, she shares her personal story on faith, family, love, and grief, and how it can all come together to help us survive loss.
