What I’m experiencing
is normal.
My feelings will constantly change.
I’m in a process that
can’t be hurried.
Grief will not
destroy me.
I will heal.

This blog is a place where people going through the death of a spouse can come for inspiration and encouragement. My purpose is to help widows/widowers of all ages who are dealing with the challenge of being single again by posting uplifting thoughts and pointing you to resources that will help you and encourage you in your grief journey. It is an extension of the Grief Recovery Workshop. Dialog is encouraged, so the comments feature is enabled (with moderation to prevent spam).

Through it all...
If I never had a problem,
I wouldn't know that God could solve them.

The Silence of God
Just because God is SILENT does not mean He is ABSENT.
- Dwight Mason
I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice?
- C.S. Lewis
Don’t doubt in the dark what God told you in the light.
- V. Raymond Edman
Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the risen Christ.
- Mother Teresa
Faith is believing in advance what can only be understood in reverse.
- Chuck Swindoll
Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.
- C.S. Lewis
The Bend in the Road
Sometimes we come to life’s crossroads and we view what we think is the end
But God has a much wider vision and He knows it is only a bend.
The road will go on and get smoother and after we’ve stopped to rest,
The path lies hidden beyond us is often the path that is best.
So rest and relax and grow stronger, let go and let God share your load
And have faith in a brighter tomorrow, you’ve just come to a bend in the road.
But God has a much wider vision and He knows it is only a bend.
The road will go on and get smoother and after we’ve stopped to rest,
The path lies hidden beyond us is often the path that is best.
So rest and relax and grow stronger, let go and let God share your load
And have faith in a brighter tomorrow, you’ve just come to a bend in the road.

Trust His Heart
God is too good to be unkind.
He is too wise to be confused.
If I cannot trace His hand,
I can always trust His heart.
He is too wise to be confused.
If I cannot trace His hand,
I can always trust His heart.

Dreams
Blessed are those whose dreams are shaped
by their hopes…
not by
their hurts!
by their hopes…
not by
their hurts!
- Robert H. Schuller
I Believe
I believe in the sun,
even when it does not shine.
I believe in love,
even when it is not shown.
I believe in God,
even when He is silent.
even when it does not shine.
I believe in love,
even when it is not shown.
I believe in God,
even when He is silent.
