Beautifully Broken: Finding Hope During Loss
Beautifully Broken: Finding Hope During Loss is a book by Pat Elsberry.
It follows the journey of Pat and her daughter, Melanie who suffered from Substance Use Disorder. Pat brings us along with her as they travel a path no parent wants to go, and she does so in a way that makes you feel you are there, walking beside them.
When Melanie unexpectedly dies as a result of an accidental overdose Pat then takes us along on her grief journey. Here, she gives her heart a voice as she endeavors to walk through one of the toughest journeys of her life. She makes one thing very clear – we may scream, cry, and fall but we should never give up, because there is always Hope During Loss. Relying on her strong faith she shows us how we are never truly alone, and that God walks along side us through the valley of the shadow of death.
