Grace Through Grief

When Breast Cancer returned and began stealing away her mother piece by piece, Dekayla Jennings found herself walking a painful, sacred road no daughter is ever prepared for. Grace Through Grief is a raw, tender, and deeply personal memoir that traces one woman’s journey through anticipatory loss, heartbreak, and ultimately—healing.

Told in six poignant chapters, this book invites readers into the quiet, gut-wrenching moments of diagnosis, caretaking, final goodbyes, and the aftermath of loss. Alongside her reflections, Dekayla honors her mother, Dale Leynette, with heartfelt tributes, pauses for breath, and powerful truths about breast cancer's impact on families.

More than just a story of grief, this book is a testament to the resilience of love and the grace that emerges in even the darkest seasons. Whether you are grieving, caregiving, or simply holding space for someone you love—this memoir will meet you in your pain and offer hope on the other side.
