Since my husband died I have called churches to try and find support groups for widows. So far I haven’t found any. I took care of my husband for years, the last two years we were housebound. Before that he was to ill to go to church anymore. So I’m starting all over by myself. No one from our church ever visited or called after he became ill. Then a couple years ago the church closed. <br /><br />I called a Pastor today that told me that his church was growing so fast they had groups for youth and young adults. They were trying to pay off their building and couldn’t start another group. I said isn’t most of the people going to your church older?<br /><br />Yes, he said about 70 year olds but they wanted young people to come. I said if most of your church is old then there will be a lot of widows and widowers. He said I was right he hadn’t thought of that.<br /><br />I just couldn’t believe it.<br /><br />Thank you for what you wrote. <br /><br />New widow on my own but with God by my side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382629264175127167.post-15477188296593016262019-02-27T19:31:29.132-05:002019-02-27T19:31:29.132-05:00This is beautiful, Ferree❣ I would like to see it ...This is beautiful, Ferree❣ I would like to see it printed in every church bulletin everywhere!<br />Have a blessed time at the widows retreat.<br />Please tell Gayle Roper hello from a reader in Washington state.<br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
