    Recent widower, being tested for cancer.

    The title of the thread pretty much says it. But I have had some gut pain and recently a GI bleed started. Got the imagery done and got shoved over to oncology. And the first round of tests show some evidence of cancer. I had lost my wife back in July of last year, and while I am honestly...

    I feel guilty for a promise I made her. Pretty sure most have been here...

    As couples do, especially after funerals of close family members, we would talk about what would happen should one pass before the other, we were thinking 20+ years down the road but it is what it is... Anyway, my wife insisted that I promise her that I would find someone new, that I would go...

    Question for other widowed. Other than griefshare, what helped?

    I am prayerful this will find those widowed that are much further along this walk than I am, but here goes nothing. I lost my beautiful wife of 15 years in July of this year. I have gone through griefshare, just finished it Monday actually. I know I have a long way to go, but I was hoping...

    Almost 6 weeks since God took her.

    It will be 6 weeks on Tuesday since God took her from my life. 6 of the worst weeks ever imagineable. I start Grief Share tonight, and am hopeful something good will come of it, but at least right now, my biggest struggle is being lonely in ways that words cannot express, even in a crowd of...

    Struggling with lonliness since my wife passed away.

    in 17 hours it will be 3 weeks since my wife went home with the Lord, and while I am happy for her that I know where she is, and she is doing great, I am feeling terribly lonely. I know this is a normal part of grieving the loss of your spouse, but even in a room full of family and friends I...

    Enduring grief, need lots of prayer.

    Since my wife passed last Tuesday, not sure why the time stamp of when I posted about it said Wed, but it really was Tuesday, obviously I have been, to various degrees distraught.

    He took my beautiful bride home. Why?

    The title says it all. Suddenly and unexpectedly he took her. I was in the hospital room when it happened, and I could tell before they could she wasn't there any more. I know God is soverign over all things, but she was only 52. We were supposed to grow old together, not middle aged... My...

    Possibly COVID, results pending, prayer needed.

    Simply put, I have been somewhat under the weather as of late, lousy timing with the job search and all, and I have been just, well not myself.

    In the job market again, wife is super anxious...

    Well less than 2 months after starting the new job, and after repeated encouragements from my manager that I was doing great, picking up my milestones ahead of schedule etc... the tone changed, quickly, and I was let go. The details are irrelevant and honestly don't make much sense. And due to...

    Job offer rescinded over vaccine mandate.

    I am NOT here to start a political debate. Just to ask for prayer on this issue. I had a job offer through a recruiter. There was a misunderstanding from the recruiter to the company over the COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Agree with me or not that is fine, but I have an ethical and moral...

    A quick prayer request. Job interviews tomorrow!

    For those that have been following, my wife has been out of work for nearly 4 years due to anxiety issues, and my job ended several weeks ago. The unemployment people still haven't given me a decision on unemployment benefits and buffers are really thin, so anxiety is REALLY high. The Lord...
