Description
Everything changed when Lisa cradled her first-born son, who had experienced a prenatal stroke. Embarking on the special needs journey, Lisa struggled with her faith and resurfacing childhood trauma and insecurities. Through counseling, she unpacked the lies she believed about herself and discovered a barrier with her faith rooted in unanswered prayer from her youth.
In "A Stroke of Love," Lisa shares her deeply personal and inspirational journey. Over the years, she questioned God with, "Why my son?" and "God, where are you?" As she was falling into the pit of depression and caregiving burnout, her heart screamed, "I can't do this anymore." She candidly discusses the hardships of navigating medical treatments, therapies, and special education. Lisa also delves into family dynamics, personal identity, the importance of a supportive community, enduring grief, caregiving, and the process of letting go.
This book encapsulates 25 years of her journey through grief and her discovery of hope and healing. Lisa's prayer is that this book encourages special needs parents and anyone who has questioned God about unanswered prayers and wrestled with their own insecurities. She hopes all who read this book can find their path to healing and purpose within God's plan. She found that purpose in a "stroke of love."
