Every Grieving Heart Has a Story

Sometimes, one sacred moment becomes a lifelong reminder that God is near.

Have you ever sensed God’s comforting presence after the loss of someone you love?

Perhaps it came as a whisper of peace, a meaningful sign, a dream, a favorite song, Scripture that spoke directly to your heart, an unexpected conversation, or a moment you’ve never quite been able to explain.

These sacred moments—whether subtle or extraordinary—often arrive when we need them most. They don’t erase our grief, but they remind us that God is with us, bringing comfort, hope, and reassurance that His love never leaves us.

Divine Encounters: Spirit-led Stories of Comfort After Loss

My prayer is that this collection will encourage grieving hearts, strengthen faith, and remind readers they are never alone.

Your story may become the very encouragement someone else needs.

Why I’m Collecting These Stories

After losing my only brother, both of my parents, and my husband of forty-five years, I discovered something deeply personal:

God often comforts us in ways we don’t expect.

Some people call them “God winks.”

I call them Divine Encounters.

Whatever name we give them, these moments remind us that God is near, hope is real, and love endures beyond what our eyes can see.

If sharing your story helps even one grieving heart find comfort, then together we’ve shared something sacred.
