The Next Chapter (TNC) Widows' Ministry, a 15 year old, faith-based support group encourages widows

and helps them heal in the years after the loss of their husband.  What a traumatic and even scary feeling

a new widow experiences! So many questions. Premarital counseling never prepared you for the lonely

nights, heartaches, and the many decisions. It doesn’t matter whether the marriage was long or short, the

loss was from a long illness or an unexpected accident, or how much money is or is not in the bank. What

matters is that the person that you married, shared secrets with, made love with, laughed with, been

angry with, and a host of other scenarios is not here. TNC gives widows a unique connection with others

who understand why his clothes are still in the closet, his name is still on the bank account, and grocery

shopping is so difficult. Widows are loved! God has a special plan to care for them. I Timothy 5:3 says,

“Honor widows that are widows indeed.”

Nearly 700k women lose their husband each year. A Widow’s Touch, a collection of powerful true stories

from 20+ widows can be a source of comfort. It allows the readers to find themselves in a character, as

the widow, the family member, friend or someone mentioned. Readers can journey with the writers as

they share loneliness, frustration, confusion, and victorious moments. A journey of faith dries the tears

and turns grief to joy. Get your copy from Amazon.com.
