It Came and Ripped My Heart Out: From Mourning to Morning

By Dr. Janet Lamar

This book came out of loss I did not know how to carry. I lost my mother at fourteen, my grandmother who raised me, and later my son, Elijah, through miscarriage. Grief did not come once; it came in layers. Through it all, God remained my anchor, even when my heart felt torn apart and my strength was gone.

As I walked through that pain, the story of Naomi and Ruth became more than Scripture. It became a mirror. Naomi lost everything and renamed herself out of bitterness. I understood that emptiness. Ruth's decision to stay when she could have left showed me how God brings provision and restoration into the middle of loss-not by denying the pain, but by walking with us through it.

This book is for anyone who is grieving and still trying to live. It offers honest reflection, Scripture, and a steady path forward that honors both faith and pain. If you are carrying loss and wondering how to move ahead without losing yourself, these pages were written for you.
