Almost two years ago, we posted an entry (click here to read it) about Widow Connection, a website full of resources and encouragement for women who have lost their husbands.
Since then, we have received a number of comments there from women who are still healing from and coping with the pain of grief and loss. The following is a story that was recently posted:
My husband, Stephen Philip passed suddenly on 11-18-09 in a motorcycle accident we were married for 20 years and together for 26 years. Stephen was not only my business partner but my best friend. We had just hung up the phone and his last words to me were don't call me I am on the bike and will be home in 20 minutes. My biggest regret in all of this was not kissing him in the morning before I left work or telling him that I loved him. He was sleeping so soundly and I did not want to wake him. I am so grateful for this web site not only to share but to be reminded that I am not alone. We did not have any "human kids" just cats so it was truly was just us two. :( I miss him terribly so THANKS.
Take the time to remember widows and their families in your prayers today. If you know of other resources for widows, please let us know! You can also interact with your sisters in Christ by sharing words of love and encouragement in the comments on this blog entry.
THANKS for posting my story
