Welcome to Heartache to Hope



This website was born out of the heartache I felt after our adult daughter opted to "run away" and remove herself from our family. As time has gone by I've realized that so many suffer through heartache stemming from various circumstances, death, loss, betrayal, thoughts of suicide, and the vast array of other hurts. I decided to update this website in order to be a resource for all who are hurting.  In this space of solace and understanding, we extend a hand of compassion and offer resources to guide you from heartache towards hope. 

If you are not a believer in Jesus Christ I pray you will take a look at our resources page to learn all about Him. 

In John 16:33, Jesus, speaking to his disciples before his crucification, told them that in this world they would have trouble. Dear friends, we believers in the church age also will have trouble. 

God does not guarantee us loving relationships with our family, or an emotionally pain free life, just like we are not guaranteed health or wealth. What we are guaranteed though, is that God will not leave us. That he is right here with us in our heartache and he will not abandon us in our pain and grief. 

Psalm 59:16-17: “But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength; yes I shall joyfully sing of Your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my stronghold and a refuge in the day of my distress. O my strength, I will sing praises to You; For God is my stronghold the God who shows me loving kindness.”

We find ourselves in a time like no other. Where honesty, which was once a respected trait in others, is now viewed as “hate”.  We must remember that Jesus says, satan is the prince of this world, and so what the “world” views as good and right will NEVER line up with God’s word. 

On this website, I will share resources to help you. They are things that have helped, and are currently helping me.

What I will not do, ever, is promise you that the pain will go away. I can’t promise that, I wish I could.

I will pray for you to draw closer to God in your personal study time, and to depend on Him.  You are not the only one suffering this pain, this I can assure you. 

God’s word has been a light to me during any dark time and I pray the same for you.

Psalm 31:9:  “Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; My eye is wasted away from grief, my soul and my body also.”


Join us as we grow in our faith in God and walk together toward brighter days. 

Our hope is that you will find some encouragement here through our story and our recommended resources.
