About this listen

Read by the author.

What are you supposed to do when the holidays hurt? Divorce. Financial stress. Chronic illness. Losing a loved one. Experiencing any of these situations during the year is difficult. But the holiday season, once joyful and happy, can heighten this pain. When Holidays Hurt, written by Bo Stern, will help you find hidden hope amid your pain and loss - even when it feels impossible.

Bo spent two Christmases struggling to connect with the joy of the season. As she watched her husband, Steve, struggle with terminal ALS, Bo quietly felt her spirit for the season fade - and has noticed others suffering the same way.

Through stories and scriptures, Bo offers listeners:

  • A way to redeem what can often become painful days - Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays and anniversaries, milestones such as weddings and graduations, and more
  • 35 thoughtful devotions divided into specific seasons of life that range from holidays to special occasions
  • At the end of each devotional, tangible ways to find hidden hope and prayers to recite

When Holidays Hurt is an encouraging self-purchase or gift for loved ones who are hurting and enduring hard times and need to be reminded of hope, peace, and purpose. Bo’s authentic voice promotes listeners to thrive during the holidays and equips them with coping tools to use throughout the year.

Amazing story of encouragement

I followed Bo as she wrote her blog years ago. That was at a time when there weren’t many voices in this area. At the time I was living my life from my bed and desperately needed someone to speak into that loneliness. Her blog did that for me. Since then I have given many, many copies of this book away. This Christmas, after losing my sister-in-law’s husband this past year, I decided to listen to the audio book version. It did not disappoint. I love that she works through the year. Through all of the seasons with a gentle, fresh perspective. Her calming voice is also very nice to listen to. It provides some balm to a hurting heart.
