Sandy Snavely invites readers to walk with her through her first five years of widowhood as she shares her story with biblical wisdom, unabridged honesty, and enduring hope. As One Who Has Hope is more than a story—it’s a conversation between author and readers. With chapter titles like “A Time to Remember,” “A Reason to Be and a Place to Belong,” “The Birds Still Wake Up Singing,” and “We Shall See God,” balances the darkness of death with the light of eternal promises from the God who prepared the way for broken people to live forever. Beautifully written, As One Who Has Hope is the book you’ll want to hold onto—and share with others—when the pain of missing feels overwhelming.
​
Sandy Snavely uses her artistic skills to paint pictures with words and turn them into messages that matter. As a speaker, writer, poet, artist, and former radio talk show host, she has developed a deep sense of the universal needs of the human heart—to be seen, known, loved, and forgiven. Sandy lives in Gresham, Oregon. She has two grown children, one loved daughter-in-law, two amazing grandpeople, and Mimzy—God's gift of feline companionship. Her books include As One Who Has Hope, Ellie's Window and Called to Rebellion (all available on Amazon).
Sandy Snavely writes about grief with insight, compassion, and firsthand understanding. As one whose soulmate died after fifty-four years as my best friend, I'm on this same journey. I appreciate this book. Sandy is honest, doesn't sugarcoat, and offers no cheap or easy answers. But she does give valuable insights that can help you take your next steps. Grief is a lonely road, but Jesus —with scars in his hands and feet—walks with us, and so do brothers and sisters whose hearts have been broken but are slowly getting stronger. Sandy offers us welcome wisdom and insight, as Jesus offers us the blood-bought promises of reunion and resurrected eternal life on the New Earth.

Snippits From AS ONE WHO HAS HOPE
"Each of our stories is unique, nonetheless we have a common understanding of the way death has plunged us into a sea of sadness, and the only thing that can save us from drowning in our tears is hope. We need time-proven promises to comfort us when we feel like morning will never come." Page 23
"Grace is the level ground on which we stand. It frees us to look into each other's eyes with sincere understanding and say, "I know!" I wonder how many heart-piercing secrets would lose their power over us if grace were to show its real face to a world full of broken people.:
Page 107
"I feel as though He's cupped me in the palms of His hands, holding me up before the morning sky and announcing to the wind, "She's ready to fly. Not away from grief but through it."
Page 129
"And here we are—unfinished works of God's heart waiting for someone to hand us the script so we can read the rest of our story." Page 194
"I wish you were here, sitting across the table from me, so I could hear your story. Your sad, tragic, beautiful, and redemptive story. I wish I could hand you a box of tissues as you share through tears of remembering. I pray you will never grow tired of remembering." Page 54
Today my days are filled with a deep sense of peace and gratitude. For Bud. For our fifty-four and a half years of marriage. and for the way my sorrow has been turned into joy and my memories are becoming more beautiful. As I think of Bud in Heaven, I believe he's watching and smiling that smile that says, "I'm so proud of you." Page 154
