Finding Joy
Broken pieces were never meant to sit on a shelf. As joy slowly returns, your story can become a candle for someone else—without erasing your love or your tears.

Krissy will walk you through processing this chapter’s emotions here.
Tonight’s tool from her Healing Toolbox
Playlist to Process Emotions
Uplifting and processing music helped move emotion through Krissy’s body. Feeling fully—then allowing light—was part of how joy found room again.
Step by step
- Choose one song that either matches your emotion or gently lifts it.
- Listen 3–5 times. Let tears or gratitude come without forcing either.
- If anger is present, it is okay to use a separate “angry” playlist as she sometimes did—then return to God for peace.
- Afterward, jot one line: one joy you will allow today, however small.
