God Is Good: But It Still Hurts

Grief has a way of changing everything.One phone call. One knock at the door. One moment that divides life into before and after.For many people, the hardest part begins after the funeral, when the flowers have faded, thephone calls become less frequent, and everyone else slowly returns to life while they are lefttrying to understand what life looks like now.God Is Good, But It Still Hurts was born from that place. After the death of her son, Walterine Dinkins found herself asking many of the same questionsthat countless grieving people ask. Where is God? Why did this happen? How do I keep living when my heart has been broken? Instead of finding easy answers, she discovered something far more sustaining, the faithful presence of God in the middle of sorrow. Rather than offering clichés or asking readers to hide their pain, this book speaks honestly aboutthe realities of grief. It acknowledges the questions, the anger, the silence, the memories, the unexpected triggers, and the long road of learning to live with an empty place that can never be filled.Drawing from personal experience and Scripture, Walterine gently reminds readers that faith is not the absence of tears, and grief is not the absence of faith. Both can exist together.Whether someone is mourning a child, a spouse, a parent, a sibling, another family member, or a dear friend, this book offers understanding, encouragement, and the reassurance that God's presence does not disappear in life's darkest valleys. Some books explain grief. This one walks beside the grieving. Because God is good. And sometimes, it still hurts.
