When The Words Are Hard to Find By Jessy Paulson

When The Words Are Hard to Find is a gentle companion for those walking through grief.

When grief enters your life, words often disappear.

The ache is deep. The emotions are layered. And the weight of loss can leave you searching for something—anything—to hold onto.

When the Words Are Hard to Find is a heartfelt collection of stories, reflections, artwork, and deeply personal prayers created from artist and writer Jessy Paulson’s own lived experiences with grief, healing, faith, love, and loss.

Written over the course of a decade through seasons of heartbreak, rebuilding, and rediscovering light again, these pages offer a safe place to land for those navigating the complexities of being human. Through honest storytelling and meaningful prayer art, Jessy gently explores the realities of grief while also holding space for hope, beauty, joy, memory, and the possibility of living fully again.

Inside these pages, you’ll find:
• Honest reflections from the trenches of grief
• Comfort for the heavy days when words feel out of reach
• Meaningful artwork and heartfelt prayers
• Gentle reminders that you are not alone
• Hope for healing without pressure to “move on”
• Encouragement to continue living fully while carrying love and loss together

Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, walking through a difficult season, supporting someone you care about, or simply searching for words to hold onto, this book was created to sit beside you gently in the hard moments.

These are not words from someone standing outside of grief.

They are words written from within it.

And above all else, this book is an offering of hope:
Evidence that even after devastating loss, it is still possible to heal, create, laugh, love deeply, and find beauty in life again.

If you don’t have the words right now…you are welcome to borrow these.

Hardcover 127 pages. This book is also available in both hardcover and paperback on Amazon.
