The Ache in the Ordinary: Finding God in Everyday Grief by Phil Allen When life unravels, we expect grief to come knocking. But what about the smaller aches—the quiet disappointments, the losses that don’t come with casseroles or funerals? In The Ache in the Ordinary, hospice chaplain and former pastor Phil Allen invites readers into a gentler, truer way of walking with sorrow. Drawing from decades of ministry and his own seasons of disorientation, Allen explores how lament—the honest expression of pain before God—is not a sign of weak faith but a doorway to deeper intimacy.

Did you grow up feeling unloved, unseen, and insecure? Do you still feel this way today? If so, you’re not alone. Our earliest relationships become the blueprint for how we relate to others later in life, including God. But what happens when those childhood relationships have left you wounded?...

My church was struggling, and I was hurt about that. Why wasn’t God giving me growth? My son was sick, and every seizure was a gut punch. I was hurt about that. Our personal finances were being pummeled by doctor bills, I was physically exhausted from working long hours with too little recovery time, and my most reliable source of replenishment had been taken away. When a person is behind the curve on multiple fronts, it is nearly impossible to be spiritually, physically, or emotionally replenished.

In wise and consoling letters written to a mother sorrowing over the death of her child, Fr. François René Blot, S.J., here summons the Church’s greatest saints who testify with one voice that death’s wound, though grievous, separates us but for a short while from those who die before us. Acknowledging that profound sorrow at the death of loved ones is appropriate (after all, even Jesus wept for the death of his friend Lazarus), Fr. Blot nonetheless gives us reason to be joyful even in the midst of our sorrow.
