Where is God in all this?"</p><p><br></p><p>Many of the people around you don't know what to say or do. They utter clichés and platitudes.</p><p><br></p><p>"It's okay. You're strong. You'll get through this."</p><p><br></p><p>You need something more than this - far more.</p><p><br></p><p>You need to know that it's okay to hurt, to be sad, and to grieve.</p><p><br></p><p>You need to know that you're not crazy and that your grief is "normal."</p><p><br></p><p>You need to know that you're not alone in this.</p><p><br></p><p>You need to know that you will get through this, even though you will not be the same person you were before.</p><p><br></p><p>And most of all, you need the comfort of God's presence. You need to experience his compassion and love. You need to know he is walking with you in your pain and grief.</p><p><br></p><p>And that's what Widowed Walk</em> is all about.</p><p><br></p><p>Multiple award-winning author, speaker, hospice chaplain, and grief specialist Gary Roe has become a trusted voice in grief recovery who has been bringing comfort, hope, and encouragement to wounded hearts for more than three decades. A former missionary and pastor, Gary knows the spiritual questions that tug at your heart during this time of deep loss.</p><p><br></p><p>About his own losses, Gary says, "Even in my darkest moments, God was there, embracing me in my pain and whispering to my wounded heart. He kept me alive. He has led me through the valley of the shadow of death many times. He continues to bring healing to my injured soul, though never quite in the way I ask for or anticipate. And, true to his loving nature, He continues to take my losses and use them for good, in my life and in the lives of those around me.</p><p><br></p><p>"God meets us in our pain and embraces us. He journeys with us through the emotional upheaval, mental confusion, physical distress, spiritual questioning, and relational changes. Jesus has personally experienced more pain, suffering, and grief than we can fathom. He knows. He gets it. He is the best grief companion imaginable."</p><p><br></p><p>Widowed Walk</em> is designed to be read one chapter a day. Consider it a grief devotional. Take your time. Open your heart. Be honest about your thoughts and emotions. Allow Jesus to meet you in each day's reading.</p><p><br></p><p>God is with you in your pain and grief. He loves you where you are, as you are. If you're willing, He will bring healing and growth to your broken heart. He will somehow use the loss of your beloved spouse for good - in your life and in the lives of those you touch.</p><p><br></p><p>Let the Widowed Walk</em> begin...</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Amid the pain and grief from the loss of a spouse, we look up and ask, "Where is God?" The words "you need to know you are not alone in this" is what separates this book from so many. Pastor and Author Gary Roe has once again solidified his status as the "go-to" resource for people struggling with grief. Keen insight and practical approach are how Gary Roe consistently and compassionately touches on the subjects that widowed spouses going through grief actually need to hear, like "It's ok to grieve". Widowed Walk takes it to the next level by combining his knowledge as a top grief counselor in with his heart of a Pastor. A must read for spouses going through the pain of grief. -Scott Willmore, Senior Pastor, The Word Community Church </p><p><br></p><p>"Grief is a daily journey after the loss of a beloved spouse. Gary Roe has captured the essence of this struggle and provided on-point encouragement for each day of the journey. Well done!" -Dr. Tony Taylor, Senior Pastor, Hilltop Lakes Chapel "A widowed griever's journey can be painful, lonely and overwhelming. Widowed Walk filters our feelings with faith, reminding us-we are not alone. God walks with us every step of the way." -Dr. Charles W. Page, MD, author of A Spoonful of Courage </p><p><br></p><p>"Gary has done it again! Widowed Walk hits on all the emotions I have heard widowed spouses speak about during my time as a Chaplain and leading support groups. I believe that all who read this book will be able to relate to the emotions and find comfort, affirmation, and hope. The way faith is incorporated with the grief journey is refreshing. I have not found material that speaks about the challenges of prayer, scripture reading, and church attendance during the grief journey as Widowed Walk does. I will be using this book for future support groups as I know this is going to help spouses break through barriers and into spiritual freedom." -Jessica D. Wilson, Hospice Chaplain, Life Coach </p><p><br></p><p>"The grief journey is unique to every widowed spouse. Those who are Christians have a God that knows this personally. Jesus, when He walked around among us, experienced grief. He wept. In Widowed Walk: Experiencing God After the Loss of a Spouse, Gary Roe uses God's word to create daily readings where the griever walks with God. The tough questions and emotions are addressed head-on, allowing the reader to experience the Jesus, the Balm of Gilead, to make them whole again." -Glen Lord, Board President, The Compassionate Friends, President and CEO, The Grief Toolbox</p><p><br></p><p>"Gary offers real, raw, and rational discussion on grief after the loss of a spouse. He brings the practicality of experience and the truth of the Bible to help soothe the suffering soul. Grief is a journey, and Gary leads the reader from hurt to healing." -Dr. Troy Allen, Pastor, First Baptist Church College Station </p><p><br></p><p>"Widowed Walk is a collection of comforting blankets to wrap around your shoulders when you are feeling the pain of the spouse you dearly loved. The words speak directly to your grieving heart, reassuring you that you are not alone. The short chapters make it easy to pick up and read for just a few moments at a time." -Kathy Trim, Missionary Care and MK Care, TEAM Japan</p><br>
