Grace Through Goodbye: A 30-Day Devotional Workbook for Grieving Foster Parents

For years, this blog has been the place where I’ve processed foster care in real time, the joys, the heartbreaks, the hard truths, the moments that shaped me. It’s also been a place where so many of you have shown up with honesty, vulnerability, and compassion. I’m deeply grateful for that.

Over those years, one theme has come up again and again, both in my home and in the messages I’ve received from readers: the grief of reunification.
It’s a kind of grief that doesn’t fit neatly into categories. It’s invisible to most people. It’s misunderstood. It’s tender, complicated, and often carried alone.

And after walking through my own goodbyes, and hearing your stories of sorrow, confusion, hope, and healing I realized something:

We needed a resource that speaks directly to this kind of grief.

That’s where Grace Through Goodbye was born.

It’s a 30-day Christian devotional workbook created for foster parents navigating the emotional, physical, and spiritual weight of reunification or placement loss. Inside, you’ll find short daily readings, scripture, journaling prompts, and simple practices to help you move through grief without rushing yourself or minimizing what you’ve lived through.

This is the book I wish someone had handed me after my first goodbye and every goodbye after that.

Writing it was both healing and exhausting, and in the process, I realized something else: my creative energy has shifted.

For a long time, this blog was my primary way of sharing and processing the foster care journey. But now, I feel called to pour more of my heart and effort into creating resources, like this book, that walk with people through the hardest parts of this work.

The blog isn’t going anywhere, but the pace may slow. And that’s okay. Sometimes seasons change, and that’s its own kind of grace.

If you’re walking through a goodbye, or love someone who is, I pray Grace Through Goodbye brings comfort, validation, and hope.

If you’ve been part of this community, reading along quietly or reaching out over the years — thank you. You’ve helped shape this book more than you know.

You can find Grace Through Goodbye on Amazon now.
And wherever you are on the journey, I’m cheering for you.
