“If you ever look at the pictures of the stages of the butterfly, they aren’t pretty. But each stage has a purpose, and it is important for the egg, larva or pupa to make it to the next stage. That’s just like dealing with our grief. It isn’t pretty, but it is purposeful. The emphasis is not about being beautiful at the end but about surviving to the end. Surviving for the time to spread your wings and fly. Breathe! Inhale…exhale…you are alive! Now live!”
Dealing with Grief and How to Move Beyond It
Grief changes everything—but it doesn’t have to keep you stuck.
In Dealing with Grief and How to Move Beyond It, pastor and author Keia Holt shares her personal journey through loss, heartbreak, and healing. From losing her mother to cancer at just eighteen to facing the pain of other family losses and a tragic relationship, Keia offers an honest look at the many faces of grief—and the faith that helped her survive.
Inside this book, you’ll find:
- Personal encouragement from someone who has walked the hard road of loss.
- Practical insights on how grief changes over time and how to navigate it.
- Biblical hope and comfort, with scriptures to strengthen your spirit.
- Gentle guidance on how to recognize your pain while moving toward peace.
There’s no formula for healing, but there is hope. If you are grieving, this book will remind you that you are not alone—and that with God’s help, you can grow stronger, find peace, and move beyond grief.
I have included scriptures that, as a pastor, I believe will bring comfort to those who are grieving. While we all need to learn how to deal with grief, none of us need to remain in a state of grief. I don't have an exact formula (I don't believe there is one), but I am sharing my story, and I pray that it helps someone.
