Widowhood can make you ask questions about God you never thought you'd have to ask...
Where is he right now (like, really)?
What do I actually believe about eternity?
Who is my God who has allowed this for us?
After your husband dies, these aren't abstract or theological questions anymore. You're looking right at death and eternity in a way you probably never have before.
So, what if you could lean in?
What if your questions could become part of knowing God more deeply?
What if the spiritual part of us needs just as much healing as our bodies, and minds do? ❤️🩹
We're talking about in this week's Hope Speaker Blog—why faith changes everything in our widowhood.

I wish someone had warned me of all the vulnerabilities when I became a widow...
Not because I needed another reason to be afraid, but because I needed to be prepared.
After being widowed, I was taken advantage of in multiple ways by others, and also struggled with the weakness of my own flesh more than any other time in my life.
I knew I was in survival mode in grief, but I didn't know how much that could affect my awareness, my judgment, my boundaries, and my desire for relief from pain.
And as I've walked alongside so many other widows, I've seen some of these same vulnerabilities show up again and again.
It's why I wrote this week: I want to talk honestly about the things we need to guard against—both the threats that can come from outside of us and the vulnerabilities we carry inside our own hearts.
