Gifts of Grief

A Love Story

One woman, two estranged brothers… all three connected by love and torment. Their lives are intermingled in a way only Providence can provide. Each one is plagued by experiences of the past.

In the words of the song, Bernadette, “there are sorrows to be healed and mercies in this world. So many hearts I find broke like yours and mine, torn by what we’ve done and can’t undo. I just want to hold you; won’t you let me hold you? Like Bernadette would do?”

Kat Sheridan sees the world through the eyes of an artist, sometimes with blinders on. Widowed early in life, she lives a quiet but lonely life trying to find joy in what can be left of her life. She is egged on by her wacky friend, Barbara, to step out her comfort zone and find sweet new love.

In the gentle rolling mountains around Blowing Rock, two brothers part in ire. It takes a gentle soul to finally get Patrick and Peter Brady back together. They, with Kat, find that things happen to us in life, some good, some so bad that we angrily shake our fists at Heaven and ask God, “Why?” In the whirlwind of emotion they endure, they find that all things, both good and bad, work together to make us into the people God intends us to be. Each thing moves us slowly forward into something golden that we never expected. God tells us to “Count it all joy…”.

Three broken people helping to mend each other… with the help of God. Their lives are interwoven in a magical tapestry of love, a journey which ends in finding forgiveness. But before they can forgive each other, they first must learn to forgive themselves.
