Renee Schweinberg understands grief not as a concept, but as a journey she has personally walked. After losing her husband of forty-two years, she found herself facing a future she never expected one filled with unanswered questions, deep sorrow, and the challenge of rebuilding life after loss. Through prayer, faith, and quiet reflection, she discovered that even in the darkest moments, hope can still find a way into the heart.

What began as personal writings to help process her grief gradually became Hugs for My Heart, a book created to encourage others who are experiencing loss. Renee shares her experiences with honesty, compassion, and a deep trust in God’s presence. Her words offer comfort to readers who may feel overwhelmed by loneliness, reminding them that healing is not about forgetting the people we love but learning how to carry their memory forward with grace.
