Book Review: Finding Hope in the Darkness of Grief by Diamante Lavendar

Filled with inspiration and stunning artwork, Finding Hope in the Darkness of Grief by Diamante Lavendar will touch your heart and help you find hope amidst the pain. As someone who has lost both of her children, Lavendar shares her insights and what she has learned through her healing process with readers in the hope of helping others.

Finding Hope in the Darkness of Grief is a beautiful book. Most selections are short, so you can easily read one and take time to contemplate its meaning and how it touches you. The calming lavender color of the interior pages is a nice contrast against the artwork and black text. This is a book you hold on to and take out when you need it. I look forward to more of Ms. Lavendar's work.
