Overcoming the Overcast

Where is God When Grief Clouds Your Faith?

When grief overtakes your life like an unexpected storm, platitudes and well-meaning advice can feel like salt in an open wound. Loss doesn't just break your heart—it can shatter your faith, leaving you drowning in questions about God's goodness and wondering if healing after grief is even possible.

But what if there was a path through grief that led to more than just survival? What if understanding God's perspective on death, Heaven, and healing could transform your pain into profound hope? As both a Christian grief counseling expert and someone who has walked through the valley of loss herself, Dr. Amanda McNeil offers something radically different from traditional grief and loss healing guides.

Drawing from groundbreaking neuroscience research and deep biblical wisdom, this powerful book reveals why our brains weren't designed to process death, how God's character anchors us in life's fiercest storms, what true healing after grief actually looks like (hint: it's not about "moving on"), and practical exercises and reflections for your healing journey.

This isn't just another Christian book about grief or a collection of quick fixes. It's a compassionate roadmap for processing your loss while holding both profound pain and authentic hope. Whether you're in the raw aftermath of bereavement, feeling stuck in your grief healing process, or walking alongside someone who is grieving, Overcoming the Overcast offers a grace-filled path toward genuine healing.
