What a beautiful comparison, Gina. I'm so glad you have found this retreat of Godly widows to fellowship with, learn with & savor a weekend together. It sounds like a truly life giving weekend for you dear wives that are now navigating life without your best friend. <3

Beautifully expressed, Gina. I love how you cap and close your thoughts about widows' experiences of grief and loss, with the gospel - He came, God With Us, Immanuel, and after He finished the work of dying for our sins and was raised up, He went up and He promised to ever be with us, and to return to take us home.

Thank you so much for writing this. I too am an empty nester widow of almost 2 years. It is a walk I would not wish on anyone. Thank you for your encouraging writings. I hope some day I can meet you. I hope you can continue to keep on encouraging us all. Thank you!!
