A compassionate resource to support, encourage, and walk with others through loss.
Grief can feel like an unrelenting wave—leaving us weary, worn out, and wondering if we’ll ever feel whole again. In those dark and disorienting moments, we long for connection, hope, and someone to remind us: You are not alone.

We can’t fix grief, but we can witness it and make space for its voice.
Grief doesn’t need to be rushed or silenced—it needs to be honored. Through shared stories and compassionate presence, we begin to discover that grief and hope can coexist. This guide empowers leaders to offer connection, encouragement, and a safe space for others to process their loss.
Let It Be offers a gentle path forward, reminding us that Jesus—our ever-compassionate Savior—walks with us through the deep waters of grief. His presence helps us carry what cannot be fixed this side of Heaven.
You don’t have to have all the answers to lead a Let It Be group. You only need a heart willing to hold space for others. This guide will walk with you as you walk with them.

Testimonials
As I began to place my identity back in the one who created me I started to notice my thoughts shift. Instead of thinking negative thoughts of myself, I started to believe the wonderful truth that I am good because He is good. Instead of looking at my imperfections in the mirror, I would look at myself and say “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Constantly correcting my thoughts to God’s truths helped me tremendously when it came to finding my identity in him, and replacing Satan’s lies with bible verses allowed me to find joy that went beyond my circumstances.
Laura, I just finished reading your book, and wow. It’s incredible. I’ve told all my friends to get it because I think it’s amazing. I’ve read it every day for the past 18 days and I really feel like I have grown so much from it. I really needed to hear all the words you wrote and to be directed to all the verses in the chapters and I know I grew from the journaling and received such peace from the meditation. I just want to thank you for writing it because it is so special to my life now and has really helped me in huge ways the past couple of weeks. Thank you so much for writing it, I really look up to you!
The Thought Garden in my opinion is one of the best adult devotional workbooks available. Laura not only presents and explains a much-needed topic in today’s world but lends her expertise in mitigating negative thinking and suggesting mindfulness techniques that are data-driven and psychologically and emotionally important. I appreciate how she fluidly takes traditions like breathing exercises and meditation, which aren’t widely promoted in Christianity, and teaches the reader how to seek God in moments of solitude and study and how these techniques benefit the mind, body, and soul. It’s unlike any other devotional or workbook I’ve ever read before.
