Invisible Grief

In Invisible Grief, Drew Hensley offers an honest and compassionate conversation about the pain and loss of unrealized hopes, dreams, and good desires. He writes with pastoral warmth and the wisdom of a trusted friend—someone who has walked this road before and knows the terrain of grief firsthand.

This book addresses an often-overlooked issue: unmet longings. For some, it is singleness or chronic illness. For Drew, it was infertility. He shares vulnerably about his struggles with drinking, depression, and a dark night of the soul—but he ultimately offers a pathway to hope in Christ.

Look to God

Hensley reminds readers that their true identity and worth are found in Christ, not in their circumstances. I was especially moved by his reflection that God does not work around pain and brokenness, but through it. This insight was key in helping me understand the invisible grief I have faced in my own life.

The book concludes by calling readers to move through their grief and forward in community, becoming conduits of grace. After reading this book, I am comforted by the fact that God sees my grief, knows it, and desires to comfort me in Christ. My eyes have been opened to better support others experiencing invisible grief—to grieve together and to look to God.
