CONFESSIONS OF A LIKELY WIDOW

A Young Widow's Reflections on Chronic Illness, Loss, Grief and Faith

Home: Welcome

The Conduit and the Source

Yesterday I was talking to a friend about fear. Fears that I have for the future - for any changes that I might make. I look back and I...

All I Need, I Have in Christ

Psalm 139 has been a favorite of mine since college - maybe even high school. In those years as I struggled with my identity, this Psalm...

Losing People

(written 2/10/22 - posted late) Yesterday was triggering. HW let me know that his kids won't be returning to the same school that they...

The Middle

The Middle: Audrey Assad Hey Don't write yourself off yet It's only in your head you feel left out Or looked down on Just try your best...

Thoughts on Dating and Remarriage

2.0 People talk about finding your 2.0. Whether they mean your new life or a new person to share your life with, it's a common phrase in...

Valentine's Day 2.0

Here we are again. It's Valentine's Day. Last year it was on a Sunday. I doubt we watched the service online that week. Some days it...

First Wedding

Yesterday I went to a co-worker's wedding. My first wedding since G died. First wedding without him by my side since my brother got...

Mad at G

A picture brought back a flood of memories. Christmas morning 2018. P opening a gift. G sitting up beside him - but slumped over...

Lacking No Good Thing

"No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly." - Psalm 84:11 I came across this verse this morning in my Psalms...

Satisfaction

"I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it." - Psalm 81:10 What am I...

Year 2: What Now?

I can't go back. The life I had with G is gone. Gone. Nearly everything has changed. I'm still at the same house, but it's different...

Being Instead of Doing

"Analyzed afresh and repudiated my base desire to do something for God in the sight of man, rather than to be something, regardless of...

So Confused

I can't stop thinking about HW. He came over yesterday to help me with a home repair, and ended up being here for 3.5 hours - with 2...

One Day at a Time

I realized today that I still have to live one day at a time. That God's will unfolds one day at a time. His leading happens one day at...

Trying Self-Care & Identity Crisis

I got a hair cut this week. A professional hair cut. At a salon. That cost over $100. And then I even bought the two products that...

A Love That's Better than Life

My crazy heart has been all over the place this week. Absolutely shredded emotionally from grieving G's death and all that led up to it....

Trusting God and Learning from Jim

Over the past couple months - maybe longer - I've become a bit obsessed with Jim and Elisabeth Elliot. I've known of them and their...

Another Grief Bomb

Two minutes before a call with my boss (who thankfully is also my friend), I listened to a voice memo from my sister. It completely...

His Purposes for G

Since writing about Psalm 57 earlier this morning, I've been thinking about how it applies to G. One of the hard things when a "young"...

His Purposes for Me

I have felt so lost this year. I don't want to glamorize or simplify what life was like when G was alive, because the truth is that life...
