Clarissa Moll

a gentle guide for living with grief & thriving after loss

Sorrow is a dark and painful road. You don?t need to walk it alone. The Bible says that “God is near to the brokenhearted,” but what does that look like when you?re lost in the darkness of agonizing grief? How do you engage with your sorrow when the world tells you to shoulder through or move on? Award-winning writer and podcaster Clarissa Moll knows this landscape of loss all too well. Her life changed forever in 2019 when her husband, Rob, died unexpectedly while hiking?leaving her with four children to raise alone. In her debut book, Beyond the Darkness, Clarissa offers her powerful personal narrative as well as honest, practical wisdom that will gently guide you toward flourishing amidst your own loss., --Amazon
