Preparing for lent

02/18/2026

Grief has a way of twisting your thoughts.

You look around and see other widows smiling… functioning… rebuilding… and suddenly you start wondering what’s wrong with you. Why am I not further along? Why does this still hurt so much?

Comparison in widowhood is dangerous. It quietly convinces you that you’re failing at healing.

But God does not mass-produce healing.

He walks with each of us personally. Your grief story is different. Your timeline is different. Your process will be different. And that does not mean you’re behind—it means your healing is specific.

If you’ve been measuring your progress against someone else’s journey, this is your reminder: God knows exactly what your heart needs.

After I shared why I chose a memorial service instead of calling it a celebration of life, so many of you reached out.

And I love that. Because this isn’t about being right or wrong — it’s about understanding the layers.

There are factors that matter.

If someone lived a long, full life, the tone may feel different than when a life was cut short.
If your husband had specific wishes for his service, honoring that is sacred.
Those things count.

But biblically, we see weeping. We see mourning. There is space for sorrow. Death is not small. It is not light. It shakes everything.

And while a service is about the person who passed away… it’s not actually for them. They are with the Lord. The gathering is for the ones left behind — the stunned hearts trying to figure out how to breathe again.

Grief doesn’t follow a script. And neither should the way we honor it.

If you’re navigating decisions like this as a widow, I see you. These choices carry weight.

And however you chose to honor your husband — what mattered most was the love behind it. 🤍

Widow… what if this is your moment?

Not to rush your grief.
Not to pretend you’re fine.
But to finally stop feeling so stuck in it.

I’m opening up space for 5 Christian widows who are ready to move from overwhelming grief into a life of purpose, peace, and joy again — with faith-centered support and real guidance.

And for a limited time, this includes a special half-price opportunity for the Supported Roadmap.

Yes… the full support tier. At a significantly lower investment.

If you’ve been wanting help but cost held you back… this may be your window.

If something in your heart is saying, I can’t stay directionless forever…

If you’re ready to let God redeem what feels shattered…

Comment REDEEM below.

I’ll send you a private message with the details.

✨ Be sure you can receive DMs and accept my message request (especially if your account is private) so I can get the info to you.

This is limited.
This is intentional.
And it may be exactly what you’ve been praying for. 💗

This might be controversial… but when my husband died, the last thing I felt like doing was celebrating.

“Celebration of life” didn’t fit my shattered heart. I wasn’t in a place of joy. I was in shock. In tears. Just trying to survive.

So I called it a remembrance ceremony.

Not because his life wasn’t beautiful.

But because death is devastating. Widowhood rearranges everything. And sometimes it feels like we’re expected to soften the language so it’s easier for everyone else.

But there is a time to weep.

You don’t have to repackage your pain.

You don’t have to sound uplifting before your heart is ready.

What did you call your husband’s service? I’d love to hear your experience.

And if you’re looking for a place where you can be honest about your grief without pretending,

You’re allowed to mourn here.

People often avoid asking about our husbands because they’re afraid it will make us sad. Or uncomfortable.

But here’s the honest truth… we’re already sad. We’re already uncomfortable. Our whole world shifted.

We’re learning how to live in a life that feels nothing like the one we knew.

So when someone gently says, “Tell me about him,” it doesn’t reopen a wound.

It reminds us that his life mattered. That he mattered. That he still matters.

You could ask:
• “What was he like?”
• “Where did you meet?”
• “What’s one of your favorite memories?”

And even add, “If you don’t feel up to sharing, that’s okay too.”

Being invited to speak his name is a gift.

And if you don’t currently have a safe place to talk about your husband, that’s one of the reasons I created The Redeemed Widow’s Roadmap.

It’s a space where we honor their lives, carry our love forward, and learn how to heal without leaving them behind.

Sometimes understanding doesn’t come—
not after the prayers, not after the loss, not even with time.

Widow, there are parts of this journey that may never make sense.

And God never asked you to figure Him out or explain what broke your heart.
He asked you to trust Him with it.

Trust doesn’t mean you’re okay.

It means you’re still placing your heart in His hands—even when it hurts, even when the questions linger.

If you’re trying to grieve with faith but don’t know how to hold both at the same time,
there is a place where your grief is honored and your hope can slowly breathe again.

I was asked a simple question recently:
“Are you happy?”

And as a widow, that answer isn’t easy.

I wouldn’t describe myself as happy.
I’m brokenhearted. I carry sadness. And that makes sense when you lose your husband.

That sadness isn’t a lack of faith.
It isn’t something to rush past or fix.
There is a time to grieve and to mourn—and that time matters.

I do believe there will come a day when I will describe myself as happy again.
But right now, I’m learning how to mourn with hope.

Hope that God is still near.
Hope that joy hasn’t disappeared forever.
Hope that this season is part of a larger story He’s still writing.

If you’re trying to hold hope while giving yourself permission to grieve—and you need support that understands your pain without trying to fix you—
The Redeemed Widow’s Roadmap may be what you need in this season.
