TW: References to suicide. Lauren Windle names something that is rarely spoken of: that many of us experience times where life is so hard and painful that given the choice in advance, we may have even opted out so that we didn’t have to endure it. Sharing from Amy Winehouse’s journey, Lauren implores us to keep going in faith, in life and in sobriety as God’s promises are still true even when we don’t feel it.

Lauren Windle is an author, speaker, journalist and presenter, known for her candid writing on faith, love, and addiction recovery. She is based in London and has penned books such as ‘Notes on Love’ and more recently ‘Notes on Feminism’.
