Facing Tomorrow:
This book is a journey through profound loss, enduring love, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going when life asks the impossible.
In September 2014, Tonya Jones lost her husband, the man who had been her partner, her anchor, and the foundation of their family. As she and her son struggled to navigate a world forever altered by grief, Tonya did what many mothers do: she pushed her own pain aside to help her child survive his. Just as she began to find a fragile rhythm in this new life, tragedy struck again. In May 2023, Tonya lost her son, shattering her heart in a way no parent should ever experience.
As she struggled to stand beneath the weight of unimaginable grief, life delivered yet another blow. In April 2024, Tonya lost her mother: her source of wisdom, comfort, and unconditional love. With each loss, the ground beneath her shifted, forcing her to grieve not just the people she loved, but the version of life she once knew.
Written with honesty, vulnerability, and faith, this book does not offer easy answers or quick healing. Instead, it explores what it means to mourn deeply while still choosing to love, to remember, and to live. It captures the rawness of grief, the strength found in family, and the sacred ways memories keep those we love close. It also shines a light on the realities of mental health, hidden pain, and the importance of speaking openly about loss, especially when silence can be deadly.
This is not a story about "moving on." It is a story about learning how to carry love forward: through heartbreak, through faith, and through the long journey of healing that follows loss.
Written for anyone who has lost a spouse, a child, a parent, or a part of themselves along the way, this book is both a testimony and an offering: a reminder that grief does not mean the absence of love, and that even in the deepest sorrow, love remains.
