“I would have never been able to start Never Alone Widows if Courtney Pray Duke had not gotten up. Her courage to rise and come alongside me and others in the aftermath of unimaginable loss didn’t just change her own story—it unlocked the future for thousands of women who would one day find healing, hope, and belonging through her yes. And She Got Up is not just Courtney’s story—it is an invitation and all of our stories. An invitation to stand again, to trust God with what feels shattered, and to believe that getting up may be the very thing that changes everything—for you, and for generations to come."
