In Hopeful Sorrow, Julie Busler invites readers on a journey of healing from the lingering wounds of childhood trauma, emotional neglect, and grief. She explores how our earliest relationships shape how we relate to others—and even to God—and what happens when those relationships leave us feeling unloved, unseen, or insecure. Through her own story, Julie reveals that hope begins not by ignoring our pain, but by turning toward it with honesty and faith.

Grounded in Scripture and the biblical practice of lament, Hopeful Sorrow shows how bringing our sorrow and questions to God can open the door to peace, resilience, and renewed trust. With compassion and clarity, Julie helps readers face childhood pain, break harmful family patterns, and discover God as a truly loving Father. This is a book for anyone longing to move from hidden hurt toward secure attachment and lasting hope in God’s love.
