SCARS

What do you do when your world falls apart-and keeps moving anyway?

At just thirty years old, Chad Hicks woke up to a reality he never imagined: his wife was gone, and he was now a single father to three young children.

In a matter of days, life shifted from birthday celebrations and normal routines to loss, confusion, and questions that didn't have easy answers. As he searched for his missing wife, faced the unthinkable, and began navigating life without her, Chad was forced into a role he wasn't prepared for-and a journey he never would have chosen.

But that moment was not the end of the story.

What followed were seasons marked by more than a single hardship-layers of loss, unexpected setbacks, and challenges that continued long after the initial shock had passed. Each one tested his faith, his resilience, and his ability to keep moving forward when everything inside him wanted to stop.

This memoir is not just about grief.

It's about:

• raising children through unimaginable loss
• wrestling with faith when life doesn't make sense
• learning how to move forward when you don't know how
• enduring hardship that doesn't come just once-but keeps coming
• discovering that healing isn't something that happens to you-it's something you fight for

Honest, raw, and deeply personal, this story will resonate with anyone who has faced loss, questioned God, or wondered how to keep going when everything feels like it is falling apart.

This isn't just a story about loss.

It's a story about faith that refuses to let go.
