Why She Trusts God Series: Author Lisa Woolery

Welcome to Anchored Not Anxious. I'm Terri Hutchinson, your host. 

I'm continuing the monthly series, “Why She Trusts God”, and I have guest author Lisa Woolery. 

She is the author of The Widow's Comeback and the Widow's Comeback 365 Grief Calendar and Workbook.  

Lisa was widowed six years ago, and as you can imagine, that causes a lot of anxiety.  In her recovery she learned a little bit more about trusting God and  learned a little bit more about letting go of  anxiety. 

She wrote her book because she felt like God wanted her to be in community with other widows. She used her journals and blog posts and fashioned these into a memoir with the intent that she didn't want a widow to ever feel alone on her journey.  She had read books and memoirs from other widows, but really felt a lot of them were candy coated. The wonderful thing about her memoir in her words, "is that I told the truth and I told about all the hairy warts, all the mistakes I made because like I said, I don't want a widow to feel alone or like she's grieving wrong." 

You can find Lisa on Instagram and on Facebook at the Widow's Comeback. She has a website, widowscomeback.com and there she offers a freebie, Principles You Can Embrace to Help You Move Through Grief.

And then of course, her Amazon author page is Lisa Woolery and that's where you're gonna find The Widows Comeback Memoir and Widows Comeback 365 Grief Calendar and Workbook.  And soon, she's going to publish a guided journal.
