Pain became a teacher. Faith became her own. And what was once a wound became a way home.

​

What if your deepest grief held the keys to a more sacred life? What if everything you were taught about God, faith, and love was never the full truth?

​

In this raw and soul-stirring sequel to When God Went Silent, author Lea Riley invites you into the quiet, intimate unraveling that followed devastating loss — and the unexpected spiritual awakening that bloomed from it.

​

After the sudden death of her husband, Lea found herself stripped bare — not just of a partner, but of identity, safety, and belief. She had spent years inside the rules of religion, doing everything she was told made a good wife, mother, and Catholic woman. But grief doesn’t follow doctrine. And in its aftermath, she discovered something no priest had ever preached: spirituality isn’t something you're given. It's something you remember.

​

This book is not a how-to guide. It is not a tidy tale of healing. It is a lived, breathing testament of what happens when pain becomes a portal — when anger becomes holy — when silence births a voice that can finally speak its own truth.

​

With poetic honesty and journal prompts woven throughout, Spirituality Emergedfrom Grief is part memoir, part soul companion. It walks with you through the fog of loss, the fire of questioning, and into the tender, powerful space where the Divine no longer lives in a building — but breathes within you.

​

This is a book for the woman who stayed quiet too long.
For the seeker who’s tired of shrinking.
For anyone ready to meet themselves — and the sacred — in the space where faith becomes felt, not forced.
