If you are grieving the loss of someone or something you loved, your search for resources and understanding about your loss can be found here.
The burden of grief and loss is bewildering, exhausting and not, as you have already found, a quick fix. We have developed our programs, books, videos, and other media resources to assist you. Our Christian-based materials are time tested by grievers like you.

Brave Penny has the resources and programs to help you.
The Brave Penny Story
Our co-founder, Heather Rodriguez, suggested the name Brave Penny. “Brave,” for the courage of those who seek healing and recovery from a loss that has caused heartache and disruption in their life. The name "Penny" is a tribute to Sharon Fox's sister, who was murdered in 1996. The ministry’s mission is to help others process their losses by presenting a Christian based approach to grief recovery, which includes coping skills, statistical research, and offers to the griever an understanding of God’s compassion for those who grieve.
