Book Description
Have you recently lost your husband? Are there days when you feel so terribly alone—and that no one else could possibly understand? Author Gayle Roper understands. As a recent widow herself, Gayle writes: So who am I now that there's only one place at the table...one pillow with a head dent, one damp towel after a shower. There's only one toothbrush in the holder. The seat is never left up anymore. I can still write Mrs. in front of my name, but I'm no longer in a marriage relationship. You need two people for a marriage, and there's only me. Is there only you? Then join Gayle as she draws on her emotions during the loss of her beloved husband, Chuck, and offers you a compassionate devotional to encourage you through your darkest days. Gayle knows a widow's pain is deep. But she also knows God's love is deeper still. And it's in His love you'll find your deepest comfort.

Our Story; A Widow's Journey
Author: Sandra Washington
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Marriage is a covenant and a long-term commitment made between two people and God. Many people really don't consider "till death do we part" as a true reality when they recite their wedding vows. We never thought about that inevitable reality that one of us would be a widow or a widower. Our "till death do us part" came much sooner than we expected. Marriage is not for the faint of heart. God must be in the center if you want your union to be richly blessed and sustained. True love is unwavering. Throughout our marriage, God revealed it required a mutual mindset of patience, prayer, love, and commitment to maintain a healthy godly marriage. Our marriage was designed to mirror the relationship of Jesus Christ and his church. The author, Sandra Washington, shares openly about the beauty and even trials of their thirty-three-year marriage before her beloved husband, Wayne, passed away unexpectedly at the age of fifty-six. The widowhood journey is not an easy path. But most importantly, readers will know how God uses trials and tribulations to make each of us draw closer to Him. God is true to His promises. There is beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and a lot of praise in this widow's journey. Our Story: A Widow's Journey is a story of love, hope, and faith.

Prayers for a Widow's Journey
Author: Gayle Roper
Publisher: Harvest House Publishers
ISBN: 0736988955
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
“I don’t want a future, Lord. I want my past. But ahead lie Your plans. Ahead lies life.” Life after a husband’s death is full of grief, uncertainty, and loneliness. Who can possibly understand the heavy ache of this new life that must be lived alone? Only someone who has lived this experience too. In Prayers for a Widow’s Journey, a collection of more than 100 reflective prayers, author Gayle Roper talks to the Lord about what it feels like to be caught in the unsought solitude of widowhood. Each prayer is accompanied by a verse from Scripture that grounds the prayer not in self-pity, but in an awareness of the boundless care of the God of all comfort. Rather than explaining grief away, Gayle acknowledges the pain and invites you to trust God even in these darkest of days.

An African Widow’S Journey
Author: Tabitha Manyinyire
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1543491189
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 87
Book Description
This book was inspired by real-life events experienced by one young widow from Southern Africa, who at the age of thirty lost her husband. She felt as though she had been abandoned by the wayside holding three young children. She had no tangible support from the family she was married into. As she traversed through this lonesome, slippery journey, she encountered a myriad of storms that forced her to totally surrender everything, including herself and her children, to the Lord. Through this simple act of giving up and submitting all her circumstances to the Lord, she was granted wisdomwisdom with which to handle the grim challenges and storms that confronted her. From the very onset she soon learnt that the relentless hate and hurtful situations that she faced were to be responded to with heartfelt forgiveness, love, and humility. The Lord also provided this widow with a measure of faith much bigger than the size of a mustard seed. She did not just see mountains being moved; storms were conquered and oceans were opened for her and her children to go through. She and her sons were raised from the bottom of the lowest dump heap and raised to levels that she could have hardly even ever dreamt or imagined possible. An African Widows Journey drives home the message, Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning (Ps. 30:5).

Celebrating Life Customs around the World [3 volumes]
Author: Victoria R. Williams
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1440836590
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1427
Book Description
This book documents hundreds of customs and traditions practiced in countries outside of the United States, showcasing the diversity of birth, coming-of-age, and death celebrations worldwide. From the beginning of our lives to the end, all of humanity celebrates life's milestones through traditions and unique customs. In the United States, we have specific events like baby showers, rites of passage such as Bat and Bar Mitzvahs and "sweet 16" birthday parties, and sober end-of-life traditions like obituaries and funeral services that honor those who have died. But what kinds of customs and traditions are practiced in other countries? How do people in other cultures welcome babies, prepare to enter into adulthood, and commemorate the end of the lives of loved ones? This three-volume encyclopedia covers more than 300 birth, life, and death customs, with the books' content organized chronologically by life stage. Volume 1 focuses on birth and childhood customs, Volume 2 documents adolescent and early-adulthood customs, and Volume 3 looks at aging and death customs. The entries in the first volume examine pre-birth traditions, such as baby showers and other gift-giving events, and post-birth customs, such as naming ceremonies, child-rearing practices, and traditions performed to ward off evil or promote good health. The second volume contains information about rites of passage as children become adults, including indigenous initiations, marriage customs, and religious ceremonies. The final volume concludes with coverage on customs associated with aging and death, such as retirement celebrations, elaborate funeral processions, and the creation of fantasy coffins. The set features beautiful color inserts that illustrate examples of celebrations and ceremonies and includes an appendix of excerpts from primary documents that include legislation on government-accepted names, wedding vows, and maternity/paternity leave regulations.
