ashamed and that we will forget the shame of our youth. It also tells that
we will not remember the reproach of our widowhood anymore. One thing which
comforted me the most was that it tells that my Maker is my husband. I never
knew this before.
And now I know I
could share all my troubles with him. He is called the God of the whole
earth. And from that moment I came to realize that all human beings are
mortal and are made to live in this world for a short period of time. Now I
knew that God is my real husband. He promised not to leave me alone in all
circumstances.
From that time
onward it has comforted me till today in my daily life and made me able to
serve him with all my heart. Philippians 4:13. I always remember my
husband's words. He told me that because we are in this physical world we
cannot go together at once though we wish to. One has to go first to our
heavenly home but we should know that one who remains for a longer time in
this world should not let the loss affect us too much so as not to be able
to care enough for the children. This is the responsibility given to us by
God.
I want to give glory
only to God for all that He has enabled me to do since I became widow.
Case Study
Mrs. Brown
had lost her husband after a sudden heart attack.
"You look like you
could cry."
"I won't."
"Why not?"
"I prefer to be alone. When I get started I can't stop. I will let it out
when I am finally home."
But she did not
cry, even at home.
