Some memories return uninvited. They hurt, but they also offer us the hope of healing.

That which happened can 'remind us', but it should no longer 'define us'. Remembering Sadness as a Child is the first book in The Remembering Series, a seven-day devotional journey into the places we learned to hide our feelings, question our worth, and keep moving even when something inside us was hurting.

With raw honesty and gentle faith, Greg Hintz reflects on a childhood shaped by emotional neglect, family secrets, an absent father, and the quiet accumulation of moments that told a little boy he was not enough.

But this is not a book about remaining trapped in the past.

It is an invitation to return with compassion, truth, and the safety you did not have then. Through personal stories, Scripture-centered reflection, thoughtful questions, prayer, and practical takeaways, Greg helps you listen to the child within without shame or judgment.

Over seven days, you will be invited to:

• Recognize sadness you may have learned to suppress

• Understand how childhood pain continues to shape adult life

• Offer compassion to the younger version of yourself

• Replace shame with truth

• Discover that grief and faith can exist together

• Begin remembering without becoming overwhelmed

• Move forward with greater honesty, tenderness, and hope

The heart of this devotional is captured in an old Yiddish proverb: “Tern zenen a refue tsum harts.”

Tears are healing for the soul.

This audiobook is for anyone who grew up feeling invisible, unwanted, too sensitive, too much, or never quite enough. It is for those who learned to stop crying before the tears ever fell—and for those who are finally ready to feel what the child inside could not.

You are not returning to the past to live there.

You are returning so that the child you once were no longer has to face it alone.

Written and narrated by Greg Hintz.
