When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

Published by Ruth Hephzibah

Hey, I’m Ruth Hephzibah. People call me when they are stuck because I help them get out of the mud and rise again. If you have ever walked through a storm you did not think you would survive, I understand you deeply. My life has been shaped by both grief and grace. I know what it feels like to rebuild yourself after everything familiar has fallen apart. I know what it means to rise again when your heart feels like it has shattered into pieces. My healing journey did not begin in a classroom. It began in real life. In hospital rooms. In moments of crushing loss. In long nights when I could not find the strength to breathe through the pain. Losing my husband, my mother in law, and my father in law in one heartbreaking season while raising four children and trying to remember who I was changed everything. It pushed me into a new level of faith, honesty, and self discovery. But it also opened the door to the work I was created to do. Somewhere between the breaking and the rising, I discovered my purpose. Today, I am a psychosocial rehabilitation specialist, grief transformation coach, author, and international speaker. I help people move from stuck to unstuck, from surviving to living, from emotional numbness to emotional freedom. I speak at conferences, churches, retreats, and wellness events around the world, sharing the truth that healing is possible and new beginnings are real. My voice is gentle but honest, tender but strong. I speak the way I live, from experience and with compassion. I am the author of A Pen That Rewrites Grief, Love Again, Sacred Sensuality, You Don’t Have to Carry This Anymore, The Grief That Never Goes Away, and a growing collection of mini series, workbooks, and emotional healing tools. I host the Grief2Grace Podcast, where I walk with listeners through healing, faith, grief recovery, and the courage to rise again. I also lead Echoes of Life, a nonprofit that supports kidney and rare cancer patients, caregivers, and families. That work is deeply personal to me. It carries the imprint of my own journey. My path through cancer in the family, death, identity collapse, and the long quiet rebuilding of my soul became the foundation for the work I do today. I help people navigate the kind of emotional pain that steals language. I help them move from surviving to living again. I help them find inner safety in a world that does not always feel safe. My passion is guiding people back to their voice, their identity, and the version of themselves that life tried to bury. I founded RH Haven and Grief2Grace because I believe in creating spaces where people can breathe again. Spaces where your story matters, where your wounds are not dismissed, where your trauma is understood, and where healing feels possible no matter what you have been through. I am also a mother of four amazing boys, a worship leader, and someone who has learned to fight for joy even in the darkest seasons. Everything I write, teach, or speak comes from lived experience, clinical understanding, and a heart that truly cares. So if you ended up here, I believe it is for a reason. My hope is that these words meet you where you are and remind you that healing is not only possible. It is your birthright. You deserve wholeness. You deserve peace. You deserve emotional freedom. And you do not have to walk this journey alone. Hey, I am Ruth Hephzibah. And I am honored to walk this part of your healing journey with you
