The Other Side of Yet
Finding Light in the Midst of Darkness
By Michelle D. Hord
Media Executive Michelle Hord was no stranger to trauma. Having started her professional career as an award-winning producer on America’s Most Wanted, she expertly guided families through every facet of unthinkable crisis. Later, she covered heartbreaking stories while working at The Oprah Winfrey Show and Good Morning America. She sat with survivors of the unimaginable. When the unimaginable struck at home, her world changed forever.
In The Other Side of Yet: Finding Light in the Midst of Darkness, Hord is confronted with a mother’s worst nightmare. She melds heart-wrenching personal narrative with tangible advice and wisdom that will inspire comfort, grace, and growth in the face of adversity. Determined that grief and despair would not become the entirety of her story, Hord has culled lessons learned from mental health experts, therapists, spiritual leaders and survivors. In The Other Side of Yet, she chronicles her journey from darkness and devastation to what she found on the other side.
The Other Side of Yet is not only a profoundly moving memoir of grief and resilience, it is also a guidebook for anyone facing emotional crossroads or unexpected crisis.
With compassion and clear strategies, Hord explores the power of faith, hope, and love in the process of healing from loss. Her debut serves as an active road map through personal crisis with chapters offering clear, actionable directions such as “Face the Dark,” “Find Your Army,” “Control What You Can,” and “Make Room for Love”. The Other Side of Yet is a beautiful and emotional story about how to keep moving with bravery and defiant faith through life’s most challenging moments.
