After my husband died, in grief I remember deciding that I didn't want my loss to make me a woman who stopped loving- God, people, and life.

But it's hard when one life ends in a lifelong commitment... and you're experiencing the pain of it. You may find yourself more guarded, or hesitate to let people close. You may wonder what it means to carry so much love for someone who is no longer here.

Still, as JJ Heller says, "Nobody wants an unbreakable heart."

I want to keep my heart open. I want to keep receiving love and giving it. I want to keep growing in the love of God, even as I navigate the places that still hurt.

One of the excerpts I share in this week's Blog speaks to this beautifully. It's from The Inner Voice of Love by Henri Nouwen, a book that comforted me and challenged me during my own widowhood.

🌹May they do the same for you today, sister.

I want to share something that helped me so much in my deep widowhood struggles. 💛

There were powerful words and reflections I returned to because they brought me comfort, helped me process what I was experiencing, and sometimes challenged me in ways I needed.

One of those books was The Inner Voice of Love by Henri Nouwen. ✝️

I'm sharing a few of my favorite excerpts in this week's Blog. They speak to some of the things we wrestle with in widowhood:

• Staying with the pain of loneliness.
• Returning to the solid place of God's love when we don't feel it.
• Discovering a deeper connection with God through the pain of absence.
• Continuing to love deeply, even when love has brought us tremendous pain.

These reflections gave me so much to think about. They comforted me, challenged me, and helped turn my eyes back to the Lord. They will bless you as well.

What if God was far more interested in you receiving His love than in any way you could be "used" by Him? (Read that again, can you even hear it?)

God isn't interested in "using" you for His work; He doesn't need from you in order to move through this world or through history.

We are graciously able to participate, by His name and the Holy Spirit's power... and it ONLY, ALWAYS overflows from being loved by Him FIRST. ❤️‍🔥

My over-achieving, my fear of people, and my betrayal of myself often came from a well-meaning place: to honor God, obey His word and be a loving example.

But darn it, I always found myself a Martha instead of a Mary... distracted by all the ways I needed to be serving over sitting at Jesus' feet and soaking in His presence and His love. But then:

Widowhood snuffed most of my capacity.
Spiritual abuse forced me to look to Jesus instead of the people manipulating His words.
And almost passing by su***de myself required me to integrate my humanity with gentleness and care.

Sister, where have you been focused on the doing, serving, excelling or being "used" over simply being deeply loved right here? Soaking in the richness of One who cherishes and holds you.

Any positive way you show up in the world is going to come out of that, anyway!

"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, “You are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” -Luke 10:41-42

Let's gain more of what we cannot lose. The one thing: Him.

With you,
Rachel✝️

Need a reason to start? Hear it from other widows:

"If you are a widow reading this, I want to encourage you to reach out for hope. Rachel is an incredible guide for widows. The Holy Spirit truly works in and through her to bring encouragement and direction. She has challenged me to move forward with confidence and peace through the power of the Holy Spirit. Be encouraged, your time will be well spent in the Hope Stronghold." -C.S.

"THIS!👆 This is what I love about our widow sisterhood. Now only words of encouragement...but healing action steps, as well." -K.H.

“Being led by a Christ-centered widow is exactly what my heart was aching for.” -C.D.

This is why our community of Christian widows—our resources, connections, live calls and more—is a place to grieve with hope, heal more deeply, and rebuild in a Christ-centered space with others who get it.

Do you ever wonder if you still have a place in God’s Kingdom now that you’re a widow (or what it is)?

Maybe before your husband died, you were the one serving, helping, showing up for others. You were a team.

Now you’re the one who needs help. Some days, just getting through the day takes what little you have. And sometimes, you might wonder:

How could He be glorified here?? Do I still have anything to offer? Where do I belong?

Sister, God sees, chooses, and does miracles not just for, but THROUGH lowly, outcast widows in crisis themselves.

Your struggle doesn't mean you're on the outside now. You are not disqualified, Kingdom widow.❤️‍🔥

I wrote this week’s Blog because I want you to see what God’s Word reveals about widows, how He chooses them, and the purpose He can still work out in your life.

This might make you uncomfortable...

And, I will advocate for you, your healing, your future, and for HOPE!

❤️‍🔥You didn't die when he died. You lost a precious part of yourself. And, there are amazing parts of you that you are going to discover.

❤️‍🔥Grief needn't be hopeless because we grieve WITH hope. There is loss here, and there is also healing, growth, expansion, refinement and gritty joy.

❤️‍🔥Your story doesn't end here. Mourn the chapter that has ended, and stay open to all the possibilities still ahead as you rebuild a life you love again (yes, you can love it again).

❤️‍🔥You are not alone. This may be the loneliest you've ever felt on this journey you're forced to walk. And, you have many sisters here with you... as well as the Lord Himself.

If you are a newer widow, I have a gift for you🤲🏻❤️

After losing my husband, I faced:

-The theft of his identity
-Trying to figure out what I needed (documents, passwords, etc.)
-Taking over management of accounts
-Sorting through his belongings
-Getting practical support/help

And it's all OVERWHLEMING in loss.

I created the Newly Widowed Checklist to guide, encourage and support you in it. It's a free resource for my widow sisters:

What if part of your widowhood exhaustion is trying to "figure out" what can’t be undone?

You replay the conversations. The decisions. The what ifs and if onlys.
You search for answers. You read about grief. You try to understand with more information.

Deep down, we're trying to control what we can to get what we are really after: safety.

Sister, I understand the desire to find something solid to hold onto when your world has fallen apart. But you were never meant to figure everything out by yourself, and more information won't solve the biggest problem...

There is a difference between searching for understanding and exhausting yourself trying to control what you cannot change.

God invites you to bring Him your questions, your weary heart, and the parts of your life you don't know how to navigate. He wants to give you the safety you are looking for. ❤️
