Who would choose a ministry based on grief and loss? Probably no one intentionally! However, after the death of her husband of 31 years in October 2017, Lynne Hoeksema started her “Be a Blessing to Your Grieving Friend” ministry.
Her goal for the ministry, in general, and for her books, specifically, is to take an honest look at what it means to grieve a deep loss, and then how we can all learn to be a more compassionate friend to anyone going through a difficult time. Her insights and her advice are always filtered through her faith in a good God, who walks us through our trials and helps us grow in the process.
In her book, "Cultivating Compassion - Practical Advice as You Walk a Friend through a Season of Loss," Lynne provides the tools you'll need in your compassion arsenal to be the kind of friend we all long to be.
In her second book, "The Honest Griever - Truths God Teaches on the Journey from Pain to Purpose," she takes a very personal look at the reality of deep grief, coupled with the equally true reality of God's presence and strength during the darkest days. Allowing yourself to fully grieve, while acknowledging God's work through your pain, is a powerful combination.
Lynne makes her home in Iowa, living with her Boston/Frenchie mix, Maisy.
