Cindy Brinker Simmons opens up about her journey through grief, and not staying stuck in it. Losing her mother, tennis legend Maureen Connolly, to cancer at a young age, Cindy thought God hated her, but eventually found that God loved her deeply. She shares how this profound spiritual transformation gave her strength to face further hardships, including her husband’s cancer battle. Cindy emphasizes the importance of choosing joy amidst adversity, building supportive relationships, and turning grief into purpose. As the founder of Wipe Out Kids Cancer, Cindy reflects on how her trials sharpened her focus on helping others, reminding us that even in life’s darkest moments, we can find restoration and hope. In her book, Restored: Reconnecting Life's Broken Pieces, she explores how God uses trials to refine us for a greater purpose.
