Thank you God for bringing me this channel. I'm not a widow, but my Husband is sick. I lost my Dad in 2014 (massive heart attack) and on that day till 2021 I took care of my Mom whom passed away from Dementia in 2021 - now my Husband is sick (he is in his early 50's). Dear God, please give me the strength to keep going in this world. Please give me the courage to move forward. Thank you for my past, present and future. Amen!

Listening now...May 3 is one year for me. 74 is too old to start rebuilding, I will be content to have no fear and trust God with everything. Peace to you, Chris

I find it interesting and comforting to find I’m not the only one going through this. I’m the first of my friendship group to become a widow aged 61. My husband of almost 40 years aged only 57 died suddenly and unexpectedly almost 8 months ago. He kept himself so fit and active and we were looking forward to an active retirement together. I simply cannot see a long term future without him. I manage 1 month at a time. Keeping busy. Setting goals and tasks. Moving forward. I miss him every day and he’s always in my thoughts. I don’t want to lose that connection. I feel for all you other ladies going through this too xx

You are so down to earth and so genuine. I really appreciate that. I honestly feel that we widows, though our relationships and circumstances are different, all share so much similarities in our grief. I have days where i think im ok and i can do this in God's strength, and days im a serious mess. Im learning that's normal, and letting myself feel whatever i feel at the time. So thank you for validating our feelings

I love the tiny homes 🏡, because they're easier to maintain.

Hi! I just found your channel today. I'm a widow too, lost my husband of 30 years to a sudden heart attack 11 months ago. I feel so lost and I don't know how my life would be now 😢

In listening to a lot of your videos, your story sounds a lot like mine. I lost my husband 3.5 years ago within a month of him being diagnosed with cancer. In this last year, I've begun thinking of a fresh start, starting with my house. It's too much for me to take care of. I've been praying for the clarity and wisdom to know when. Most of the things that you've talked about has been what I've been feeling and thinking. So thank you for all that you do for all of us widows, possibly even widowers. They truly are a gift from God. 🙏

I totally know how you are feeling!! I just lost my husband of 57 years. He passed away on March 4th 2026. It is a very lonely path. I really miss Brent. I feel blessed to have my family around me. My daughter lives with me. God has given me comfort!! God Bless you!! ❤❤❤Susan Hatch, Idaho

I am so glad I have heard this video, I needed to hear it. I am thinking of trying to find that wise person I can bounce things off of. I have some dear friends but desire to hear an objective from a person that not have "stings" to my life. Yes I know Jesus, yes I desire to do his will, regardless. It is like creating a new life after 54 years of couples!

Thank you for this... My husband passed away 19 months ago on November 3rd, 2024. We were married 38 years and this is the first time I've ever lived alone... It has been quite an adjustment! So much has changed in my environment... People who I thought would be there haven't been and in crying out to the Lord i have found out how utterly faithful He is. I am still struggling in figuring out how to move forward with my own life, but I suppose that's normal.. Thank you again.

I never thought that I would think about selling my house. But I have been. The house was my house proud. As he lived on the street for many years. Before he went to a place with his alcoholic lifestyle. We meet at church where he was getting the help. If he was here next Sunday was his sobriety date. We didn’t have children. The house has become to hard for me take care of. I’m so glad God lead me to your YouTube page. God bless you!

How long have you been in your new home and do you miss your family?

I just found you today......the 4th anniversary of my husband's passing, July 6, 2022. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and your advice. I still struggle with the loss of my husband and the loneliness. It comes in waves. I do have a question.....I have been wearing my wedding band since my husband passed away. I don't want to take it off. I am 72 almost 73 in August. Is this normal? I am trusting God in all my circumstances! God Bless you for all your help. I will be following you!!!
