This is SOOOO good. Soooo encouraging to read/hear. I felt I was doing good, possibly made it thru the first year after Jerry’s death, on numbness, not realizing the stress & strength it zapped out if me being a caregiver for 13 months prior, but then Covid 19, & WOW was my world turned upside down & inside out, so thank you for putting this out there, so i can understand I’m ‘normal’
ACCFS was a lifeline at the most difficult season of my life! I have listened and learned from almost every podcast on ACCFS! It’s been 3 years and 8 months since I lost my husband and your podcasts, based on wisdom from God’s Word, have provided the encouragement I’ve needed to “grieve well and go forward with hope”! Thanks for inspiring us to anchor into God’s promises and trust He will continue to be faithful because He has a plan for us beyond our own plans!
