Coping With Loss | Finding Joy and Grace

Dianne’s Blessings

The story of an ordinary Christian living an extraordinary life.

Dianne faced cancer with faith, courage, and hope. She believed in miracles. Her miracle was not the cure we prayed for, but the blessings she received from everyone around her—and the blessings she shared with everyone she touched.

In these pages, you’ll meet Dianne, a woman who showed us how to place our burdens at Christ’s cross, rediscover joy and grace amid hardship, answer sorrow with laughter, and offer her wit as a quiet gift of love.

Her spirit rests in the hands of God. When she whispered, “I will be okay,” I believe now she meant she would be with Christ.

After sharing his wife Dianne’s story in Dianne’s Blessings, Jim Sizemore began receiving stories from friends and readers navigating their own journeys of love, faith, and caregiving.
Love, Always grew from those conversations.

In these pages, Jim explores how ordinary moments—laughter, quiet prayers, and unexpected acts of kindness—become “God Moments,” revealing joy, grace, and God’s presence in the midst of illness, caregiving, and grief.

Written for those facing illness, supporting someone they love, or learning to live with loss, this book offers encouragement, perspective, and a gentle reminder that joy and sorrow can exist side by side.

Often, they are found in the simplest words of care and blessing:

God Bless You.
And perhaps, in these stories,
you’ll begin to notice your own God Moments.

Why Joy?

Joy isn’t something we chase.
It’s something we find when we rest in God’s presence.
It lives quietly beneath the surface—
a steady trust even when life feels uncertain.
Dianne had that kind of joy.
It showed up in her smile, her wit,
and the way she made others feel at ease, even in difficult moments.
Joy is one of God’s gifts—
found in simple moments, shared with others,
and always pointing us back to His love.

Why Grace?

Grace is quiet strength rooted in faith.
It gives without seeking recognition,
loves without needing to be seen,
and steadies the soul when life begins to unravel.
It comforts. It uplifts. It makes room for both sorrow and hope.
