Arise and Go Back: A Journey Through Grief, Grace and Restoration

By Adiese Jonas-Murphy

What do you do when grief lingers long after the funeral is over-when, years later, the weight of loss suddenly comes crashing back?
Let's be real: moving on is often harder than people make it sound. Just when it feels like you're finally making progress, another wave of grief floods in. And with it can come guilt, even shame, as you quietly wonder, Why is it taking me so long to move on?

This is why this book was written. Author Adiese Jonas-Murphy understands the gripping effects of grief-having endured loss after loss and wondering if life would ever feel normal again. In Arise & Go Back, she intertwines her own story of heartbreak with the timeless wisdom found in Naomi's journey from the book of Ruth.

Through transparent storytelling, biblical encouragement, and soul-healing reflections, this book offers hope for anyone navigating loss, delayed grief, or the quiet seasons of faith. It is an invitation to rise from the ashes, rediscover God's presence and find the courage to walk toward joy once again.
