Introducing Charla’s books:

Letters to Hope: How One Mom Coped with the Unthinkable

The death of a loved one shatters our world and challenges our faith. In Letters to Hope, Charla Shaffer opens a window to her heart as she grieves the loss of her fifteen-year-old daughter Hope. With gentle empathy and raw honesty, Charla addresses the seemingly endless questions that bombard our minds:

Where is God when my heart is breaking?
How do I walk out the grieving process in a healthy way?
Is it possible to learn to allow grief and joy to coexist in my life?

Think of your loved one as you read these heart-warming letters from a mother to her child. Laugh and cry as you identify with the comforting signs and miracles God is bringing this family through their healing journey. Finally, engage in the suggested activities—bring your pain and questions to God as you process your deep, never-ending love for the special person you miss, and find a measure of healing for your soul.
