About Give Me Hope

Host Johanna Vendel is the author of two books: “Life? Think Again!!”, published in May 2024, and “Navigating Through Losses and Grief? Think Again!!”, published in February 2025.  In July 2024, she won an International Impact Book Award for Best Autobiography. “Life? Think Again!!” tells the poignant story of her journey overcoming the loss of her immediate family members between 1993 and 2020, during which she lost six loved ones, including her mother, father, three sisters, and one brother. If you haven’t read her books yet, you can get your copy today at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D4XTKS31 (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D4XTKS31). Her second book, “Navigating Through Losses and Grief? Think Again!!,” offers valuable insights for those dealing with loss and grief. It acknowledges the challenges of navigating these difficult emotions and aims to normalize pain while encouraging healing. The book addresses various emotional responses, including shock, denial, anger, depression, and acceptance, while providing strategies for coping with each stage. I hope you enjoy reading my books. http://www.amazon.com/dp/BODWK9RCNB (http://www.amazon.com/dp/BODWK9RCNB) Despite enduring significant heartache, Johanna remains resilient and maintains her faith in God, trusting that He will support her through any challenges she encounters. It can be difficult to convey one’s emotions to those who have not experienced the loss of a close family member or loved one. Life becomes particularly challenging when these important individuals are no longer present. As time goes on, one may ponder the reasons behind such losses and experience profound sadness, questioning how to mend a broken heart. It is essential to recognize that faith in God can provide strength during sorrowful times. By spending time with remaining loved ones, one’s heart can gradually heal and grow. They can offer support and assistance in coping with loss. Everyone needs someone to help them navigate difficult times. Therefore, it is crucial to reconsider and embrace the support available to us.

   #3 - Grief- Public Face? Private Loss and Finding Light in the Shadows..

   Hannah Ingram-Moore is a writer, speaker, and business leader with a career spanning decades of work with some of the world's most recognizable global brands. A specialist in building purpose-driven identities, she has helped organizations connect with audiences through meaningful storytelling and bold, authentic strategy. Her most personal and powerful work is her book, Grief: Public Face, Private Loss, a deeply reflective exploration of what it means to grieve in both public and private spheres. In it, she recounts the slow, heart-wrenching journey of losing her mother to a degenerative brain disease, an experience that shaped her long before the world came to know her name. Fifteen years later, she would face an entirely different kind of loss: the collective, public mourning that followed the passing of her father, Captain Sir Tom Moore, a symbol of hope and resilience during the global pandemic of 2020. Through raw personal storytelling and grounded, practical tools, Hannah's work offers comfort, insight, and solidarity to anyone navigating the complex terrain of grief. Her story is not only one of loss, but of love, strength, and the quiet courage to carry on, even when the world is watching.
