Losing My Brother
The coroner’s official notification of death came at 11:59 p.m., on August 31, 2016. When Rob Henslin receives that horrific news, it begins yet another chapter in a story already thick with tales of life-threatening illness, marital collapse, the ache of personal shortcomings, and the endless search for a “new normal.”
The golden thread woven through those stories is faith and God’s faithfulness, in spite of Rob’s broken, oft-faltering humanity. But the tragic news that his big brother—his only brother—has committed suicide, challenges that faith like never before.
In Losing My Brother, Rob shares his journey in the wake of his brother’s suicide, where he faces several crushing realities, including
• Missed suicide risk factors and warning signs • The life-changing impact of concussions • A spiritual crash and burn that leaves a seemingly unfillable void of faith
But there’s more to this story. A single conversation with a long-time friend sparks a breakthrough discovery that provides much needed perspective—and hope. Available at Amazon.com$8.99 Paperback, 140 pages$5.99 Kindle eBook
