🤍 What H.U.G. Is (and What It Isn’t)

H.U.G. — Here, Understood, and Gently Held is not a how-to guide.

It’s a collection of stories that sit beside you.
It’s presence without pressure.
It’s a soft place to land when your spark feels gone.

It’s not a list of things to say or do.

It’s not a fix.

These pages don’t rush your grief. They don’t tidy it up.
They simply say: You’re not alone. You are understood. You are gently held.

🥪 Why I Felt Called to Create This Book

The idea for H.U.G. didn’t begin in a brainstorm or a journal.
It began in a doctor’s office—barely an hour after I was told that my baby no longer had a heartbeat.

I remember the doctor’s words:
"Unfortunately, miscarriage is very common. We don’t hear about it very often because women seem not to talk about it."

That sentence landed like a stone.
And something inside me whispered, Then I will.

Three hours later, I was home—standing in my kitchen, making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich—and the writing began.
Because grief doesn’t always arrive in grand moments. Sometimes it shows up in the ordinary. In the quiet. In the ache of what should have been.

H.U.G. is my response to that ache.
A book for the woman who doesn’t know what to say.
A book that sits beside her when her spark feels gone.
A book that says, You are not alone.


I wanted to create something that could sit beside another woman in her own kitchen, her own silence, her own story.

That’s what H.U.G. is. A book that feels like a hug from a friend. A whisper of “me too.” A spark, slowly returning.

When complete, H.U.G. will be offered for free in medical settings and available for purchase online, in bookstores, and right here at faithsparks.com - because every woman deserves a hug she can hold onto.
