If you live long enough, eventually your heart will break. This study will guide you through the storm.

This study is a companion to Green Hearts, by Jeff Bumgardner and Dr. Stephen Cutchins. The book was written in response to the tragic and sudden death of Jeff’s ten-year old daughter, Ella.

Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters. — M. Scott Peck

In this world you will have trouble. — Jesus
