Twice Blessed

Those who lose a spouse to a long-term terminal illness face unique issues as they support their sweethearts and care for them. Eventually, they grieve their death while trying to find answers to these questions:

• Where was God in all of this?
• Why did this happen to God's people-His servants?
• How do I go on without the love of my life?
• How do I figure out me when it's no longer we? What's next? How can I find life and possibly love again?
• What's next?
• How can I find life and possibly love again?
