My Christian Widow Sister, you don’t need to struggle through this alone.
ABOUT RACHEL POWELL
Widowhood feels like
living the unimaginable.
I felt I died when my husband did.
I thought my life would never be as good again.
I believed peace, love, and joy were out of reach.
God was ready to show me what a resurrected and redeemed life of a Kingdom bride looked like.
When my 30-year-old husband died by suicide, my world was gone and my heart was shattered. I was left raising four grieving children while battling overwhelming grief, confusion, and deep hopelessness of my own.
I loved God.
But I struggled with guilt, loneliness, heavy pain and so many unanswerable questions.
In the darkest season, I attempted to end my life.
But God. He is so faithful. He showed me that a wound this deep needed deep, intentional, invested recovery.
Through years of deep grief work, evidence-based recovery tools, coaching, and partnership with the Holy Spirit, I began to rebuild:
An intimate two-way relationship with God
My identity as a Kingdom bride
Purpose and confidence in leading my future.
Today, I am remarried, blending a family of seven, and living a life I genuinely love.
Widowhood involves great tragedy but my life is not a tragedy.
Neither is yours.
Hope Speaker was founded from the Lord’s clear calling — to reach those in the darkness I experienced, with HOPE.
While widowhood grief is not a linear process, and is a journey, I have found that it is often viewed and treated as an endless maze of suffering:
-There is no known order or path
-No one can walk it through with you
-You can try many supports and still feel stuck
-You may never get out
These are lies.
There are steps to move forward on a proven path, with companionship all along the way.
