Healing from Life’s Deepest Hurts
Reclaiming Your Life After Grief, Loss, or Trauma
God can transform your pain into joy
While the wounds of grief, loss, and trauma may look different for each person, the pain we feel is very much the same. Yet hope and healing are possible.
In this raw and compassionate book, licensed counselor Kimberly Haar pulls back the curtain on her own devastating journey as a domestic violence survivor. Assaulted and kidnapped by her ex-husband and witnessing the man she loved shot 10 times, she offers a lifeline of hope to those wrestling with seemingly unrecoverable pain. Drawing from both personal and professional experience, she reveals how it is possible to navigate life’s darkest seasons with vulnerability, faith, and resilience so that you can ultimately embrace hope, find joy, and rediscover God’s deep and abiding love for you.
If you’ve been struggling with feelings of shame, guilt, anger, unforgiveness, or the sense that you have been abandoned by God, this honest yet encouraging book may be exactly what you need to turn the corner toward healing.

““Kimberly shares vital tools to help us exchange our pain, our fear, and our doubt…”
“We’ve all been hurt—Jesus told us to expect trials, pain, and suffering in this life. It’s in our most painful trials that we are the most vulnerable to the lies of the enemy, often leading us to question if God can really be trusted. Kimberly shares not only her own faith journey but also vital tools to help us exchange our pain, our fear, and our doubt for complete surrender to God’s good and perfect plan in order to heal from life’s deepest hurts. And when we do, He exchanges those painful wounds for beautiful sacred scars!”

“Kimberly has a breathtaking story of trauma. Her assault could have easily left her a bitter, stuck victim of her circumstances. With her faith in God, she reminds the reader that although she was victimized, she did not want to be labeled as a victim . . . and she would choose to do the emotional work required to come out of her traumatic experience victorious. Kimberly’s book is a constant reminder that God will not waste your pain, no matter what you are going through. Trusting God’s plan for what is next and learning to surrender control and to forgive led her to a thriving life. This is a book of hope for all readers!”
