CONFESSIONS OF A LIKELY WIDOW

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

Home: Welcome

Courage, Dear Heart

“But no one except Lucy knew that as it circled the mast it had whispered to her, "Courage, dear heart," and the voice, she felt sure,...

More Than Okay

G is more than okay. I need to remember this. There are moments when I want him back. Other moments when I worry about what he would...

No Wrong Road?

We tend to obsess over finding God's will for our lives. I see this all the time in the college students that I work with. One season is...

Breadcrumb Trails and Patches of Light

For a long time now, I've been saying that I feel like I was dropped off of a cliff into a dark room. A room with no doors and no...

Can I Crash?

I've been really brave lately. Booking flights and planning trips without G. He always did these things for us. Getting ready to go out...

Accepting the Gifts

All of life is grace. Yesterday, I was walking to my car after meeting with a student on campus and feeling happy. The sun was shining....

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...

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...

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....

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...
