Have you ever faced a chapter of your life you never asked for—a heartbreak so deep, you found yourself starting from scratch? Edith Taves knows this landscape intimately. Today, she stands as a beacon of hope—not only as a certified coach and faith-filled entrepreneur, but as living proof that devastation can become a legacy that blesses generations.
Edith’s story begins in the aftermath of immense loss. When she lost her beloved Greg, it was more than losing a partner—she lost her foundation, her sense of home, and every version of the future she’d imagined. As an immigrant in the United States, Edith was suddenly alone: no familiar safety net, no close family nearby, no emergency contact. Her only anchors were herself, her faith in the Lord, and the winding, unfamiliar roads of a new country.
Like so many who experience heartbreak, Edith tried to fill the void through tireless action—enrolling in courses, launching a Mary Kay business, becoming a Notary Public, and even entering the financial industry. But beneath her productivity, she realized she was merely surviving, not truly healing. The ache for her daughter, mother, and family back in the Philippines persisted. When illness finally forced her out of the workforce, Edith felt completely adrift.
Yet in this darkness, Edith discovered a miracle: God had been preparing her for this journey since childhood. In the quiet, she sensed the gentle divine whisper: “I comfort you so you can comfort others. Love brought you here, and now grief offers you a mission impossible. I invite you to become a repairer of hope and broken dreams, a restorer of ancient ruins in people’s lives. As you rebuild from rubble, I’ll do the same for every woman you serve.”
Moved by her calling, Edith poured the lessons of her valleys into her book, My Loss His Gain: Love Beyond Loss; Finding Hope in Jesus (March 2025). The book has already become a vessel of healing for hundreds in the throes of grief, offering comfort, faith, and a pathway to renewed vision. But for Edith, sharing her story is just the beginning.

Through her journey and client transformations, Edith models seven Brave Thinking steps to move from heartbreak to legacy. First, honor the grief—true healing starts with feeling and acknowledging, not suppressing, pain. Second, build connection, because isolation intensifies sorrow while authentic community births hope. Third, take small, brave steps, as progress is often one tiny step—one act of faith—at a time. Fourth, embrace divine purpose, recognizing that pain is never wasted; it reveals our highest calling. Fifth, reclaim true identity as Edith empowers women to root their identity in God’s love, not loss. Sixth, invest in healing, because real change comes from committed transformation—coaching, structure, support. Seventh, choose legacy daily, understanding that legacy isn’t a distant ideal but built through daily acts of love and purpose.
Support is vital, but Edith’s message goes further: healing must turn into transformation. Too many, after loss, become stuck on an emotional roller coaster—existing but not living, drifting from calling and dreams. But Edith is living proof that you don’t have to stay there. Through faith, real community, and the courage to seek help, anyone can find their way back to purpose—and even joy. Her journey reveals a profound truth: hope is not the absence of pain, but the decision to seek light through darkness. Rebuilding from hopelessness isn’t about luck or willpower—it starts with a decision, a reach for help, and a willingness to try again.
When Edith lost her husband Greg, her heart wasn’t the only thing left empty—so was her sense of financial security. A question echoed in her spirit: Now that his income is gone, what’s next? That haunting uncertainty is common for anyone facing the loss of a provider. Yet in her darkest moment, God whispered a new reality: “In a single household, you still have divine income.”
The truth is, when tragedy strikes or devastation tempts us to feel small, we don’t have to shrink. In the Kingdom, lack never has the last word. God’s faithfulness and supernatural provision remind us: hardship is always an invitation to break every limiting mold. Let’s anchor in God’s promise with these words from Psalm 37:18-19.
New International Version (NIV): “The blameless spend their days under the Lord’s care, and their inheritance will endure forever. In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.”
The Passion Translation (TPT): “Day by day the Lord watches the good deeds of the godly and he prepares for them his forever-reward. Even in a time of disaster he will watch over them, and they will always have more than enough no matter what happens.”
New Living Translation (NLT): “Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent, and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever. They will not be disgraced in hard times; even in famine they will have more than enough.”
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC): “The Lord knows the days of the upright and blameless, and their heritage will abide forever. They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.”
Edith’s message is clear: You don’t need to shrink when tragedy comes; you’re not called to survive in lack, but to live in supernatural abundance and bold, future-shaping faith. When something is taken away, God’s promise to you is still “more than enough.” Every hardship isn’t just a valley—it’s an invitation to break every old, limiting mold and discover God’s miraculous provision in new ways.
So, whatever loss may try to steal—from your finances, your vision, your sense of identity or future—remember: your true Source never runs dry. God’s faithfulness is your forever inheritance, and even in famine, you will have plenty. Let this season become the soil for breakthrough—not just in your heart and mind, but in your sense of God’s limitless care and supply. You don’t have to shrink. You are being invited to rise and become a bold, beautiful testimony to His faithful provision!
