Still Here: Learning to Live While Broken
Grief doesn't ask for permission. It doesn't follow rules. And it doesn't care how strong you were before.
Still Here: Learning to Live While Broken is a short, deeply personal book from Kirstie Ferrell, a mother who knows what it means to keep going when life shatters. Nothing in her life prepared her for the day she lost her firstborn son.
The loss was not distant or estranged. He was her child, her first baby, and his absence left an ache she still carries. She kept moving, working, showing up for others, smiling, all while breaking on the inside.
In these brief but powerful pages, Kirstie shares what grief has felt like to her - the days when faith felt far away yet she still trusted God, the moments of not giving up when it would have been easier to stop, the first time she smiled again without guilt, and what it really means to love someone who is grieving. Scattered throughout are Scriptures that anchored her and gentle reminders for anyone carrying their own loss.
This is not a long manual or step-by-step guide. It is a compact, unfiltered account of a mother and a believer learning how to breathe again while carrying the weight of loss. It is for the one who wakes up each day and does what needs to be done, even when their heart is shattered. It is for the one who looks strong on the outside but feels like they are falling apart on the inside.
For anyone who has lost a child, a parent, a spouse, or the life they thought they would have, Kirstie's story offers the comfort of a companion through the good, the bad, and the ugly days of grief. It is faith-rooted, heart-deep, and unwilling to minimize pain.
Her message is simple. You are not alone. You are not too broken. You are still here. And that matters.
