When People Hurt You: A Free Healing Journal
A Free Gift for Your Healing Journey
When People Hurt You:
Rising Above Rejection and Betrayal
A free Scripture-Based Journal and Growth Guide for the woman carrying the weight of a friend’s silence, a family member’s rejection, or a betrayal that still aches when she’s alone with her thoughts.

You Don’t Have to Pretend You’re Okay
Maybe it was a friend who walked away without explanation. A spouse whose words cut deeper than you thought words could cut. A church, a parent, a coworker who left you wondering what you did wrong.
Maybe you’ve replayed it a hundred times, searching for the moment you could have stopped it.
Did I do something wrong? Why did this happen to me? Will I ever trust someone again?
I understand those questions more than you know.
“He is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
God is not asking you to pretend the wound isn’t there. He’s asking you to bring it to Him.
A Journal Born From My Own Story
This journal didn’t come from a place of theory. It came from my own walk through betrayal and heartbreak, the nights I lay awake wondering if I’d ever feel whole again.
I cannot know your exact situation. But I know the ache of a dismantled heart, and I know that God has a way through it that doesn’t leave you stuck there.
His way gives us hope. His way gives us life again. His way moves us forward into all the “more” He has for us.

It’s Yours, Free
This journal is my gift to you when you join the Unveiling Hope community. No cost, no strings, just a place for your heart to begin healing and weekly encouragement from me along the way.
Your heart has carried this long enough. Healing may take time, and I can’t sit across the table from you while you walk through it. But I can pray for you, and I can point you back to the Healer and to the truth of who He says you are.
That’s what this journal, and this community, are here to do.
In Christ,
Lori
A note of care: this journal is a companion for your healing, not a replacement for it. If you’re walking through deep trauma or ongoing abuse, please reach out to a qualified Christian counselor or mental health professional alongside this journey.
