A memoir of suicide, faith, and the relentless love that won't let go.
What if everything you believed about suicide was wrong?
Brenda was raised to believe suicide meant eternal separation from God. A terrifying truth she never dared to question. Then her brother Tim took his own life. Her world shattered. Grief overwhelmed her. And the silence from the church cut even deeper. In her search for answers, Brenda turned to Scripture and uncovered a truth that changed everything:
There’s only one unforgivable sin—and it isn’t suicide.
In her darkest moments, God’s quiet voice pierced through the pain. From a highway billboard to sacred moments of stillness, grief began to shift, slowly, from despair to fragile hope.
God Still Loves Timmy is a raw, unflinching memoir of heartbreak, faith, and the courage to challenge inherited beliefs. Brenda’s journey moves from crushing loss to a deeper kind of faith. A story of honesty, healing, and relentless grace.
“I believe that this book can provide a strong message to survivors of suicide loss who struggle with their faith in grief.”
