This is so true. Beautiful!

I feel like running away from life since you passed and went to heaven. It's so difficult staying here in this empty and silent house that it's making me half-crazy. I'm so lonely without you that I feel like moving somewhere else to take my mind off of us and what we had. My world is so dull and isolating now, that every day I get lonelier by the second. Your absence takes me to another side of hell, and I am drowning in my own tears. Please God heal my broken heart and give me the strength to stay strong and tough, because grieving is hard as hell to survive. I'm merely existing now, and I'm a lost cause with no hope in sight.

"I Didn't Love You"

12/15/2025

I wrap myself in the love you still send,
the way others pull on blankets
when winter winds bite.
Yours is the warmth
that reaches past distance,
past death,
past the places I can’t follow yet.

You were never just a moment
you became a presence,
an unseen arm around my shoulders,
a voice threaded through silence.

When the world feels too sharp,
I close my eyes
and you’re there
steady as breath,
soft as memory,
real as the pulse inside my chest.

You find me
in moonlight,
in songs,
in the sudden peace
that floods my heartbeat
for no reason at all.

Some call it imagination
I call it love continuing
in its truest form.

So when the nights grow cold
and grief curls tight around me,
I reach for what you still give.

I wrap myself
in the love you still send
and somehow,
I make it through.

🔥 “Beauty for ashes…” — Isaiah 61:3

What burned down will rise up again.
God is not finished with your story.
The ashes of loss, disappointment, delay, or devastation are not the end.
In His hands, ashes become the soil of resurrection.

From the very place of your breaking, something beautiful will rise.

The same God who exchanged sorrow for joy,
Who turned mourning into dancing, will bring beauty from the ashes of your life.

Hold on.
Trust Him.
The rising has already begun.

Grief Groups Are Not Widow Ministry

Many widows begin their journey in a grief group, often because widow-specific support simply does not exist in their church or community. Grief programs like GriefShare provide wonderful and much-needed support for people experiencing all types of loss, and they play an important role in the church. Still, they do not fulfill the biblical call to care specifically for widows.

Widowhood is not only the loss of a loved one; it is the loss of partnership, identity, security, companionship, shared history, and often financial stability and parenting support. These long-term, layered needs cannot be met in a general grief setting designed for every kind of loss.

Many widows attend general grief support groups and leave still needing more, and longing for deeper understanding, ongoing connection, practical help, and a community of women who truly understand the daily realities of widowhood.

Beauty from Ashes Ministries has the answer to this. We provide everything you need to start your own widow support ministry in your church or community.

This ministry was developed by a widow and shaped over years of prayerful, thoughtful work. Every part of the program has been carefully refined and proven effective. The entire program is step-by-step, easy to follow, and created with detail and care.
