Sleeping in Christ

What if the person you love is not gone - but simply sleeping?
Every grief begins with the same unbearable silence. The empty chair. The voice that does not come. The future that was supposed to contain them and now does not. And in that silence, the question that no one seems to answer honestly: where are they? Are they okay? Will I ever see them again?
Sleeping in Christ is the book the grieving Catholic has been waiting for - honest enough to sit with the darkness, and anchored deeply enough in the resurrection faith of the Church to point, with quiet and unshakeable confidence, toward the light.
Drawing from the full richness of Catholic theology, Sacred Scripture, and the lived witness of the saints - from Saint Augustine and Saint John of the Cross to Blessed Carlo Acutis and Mother Teresa of Calcutta - this deeply personal devotional walks with the bereaved reader through every dimension of loss: the raw wound of grief, the disorienting silence of God, the guilt of healing, the fear of forgetting, and the slowly recovering hope of a faith that has been tested and has held.
But this is more than a book about surviving grief. It is a book about a truth so extraordinary, so personal, and so thoroughly grounded in the Catholic faith that it has the power to change not only how you grieve - but how you live.
The person you love is not gone.
They are sleeping in Christ.
And one day, you will wake up together.
For everyone who has ever stood at a graveside and needed the resurrection to be more than a doctrine - and found that it is.
