Christine Cain's Podcast
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
18 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”
6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

The path to recovery is highlighted through the resources and communities that aided Karin, including the grief recovery method, grief share programs, and a widow's retreat that provided a sanctuary of understanding.
Her own initiative to start a local support group on Facebook showcases how individuals can find connection and solace through shared experiences.

In this special episode, Michelle shares about the nonprofit Widow Goals that she just started.
What is Widow Goals? Widow Goals is a nonprofit organization established to support widows, especially during the first year after the loss of their spouse. When I became a widow at age 41 I had no idea how difficult the first few months and first year would be. Thankfully, I already knew a lot of widows and reached out to all of them. I asked every single one of them “Will it get better?” They all assured me that it would. Words from seasoned widows gave me hope. It didn’t matter if friends and family told me it would get better, I only wanted to hear from those who had been through it.
Connecting with other widows made all the difference in the world to me. I was also extremely blessed to have the support of local friends and family who helped me with things I had no idea how to do like bills, yard work, car issues and so much more. There was a hole in my life not only emotionally but physically. My biggest support person was now gone. My life partner, my husband of almost 17 years, my “Mr. Fix-it”, my kid’s dad, the love of my life, and so many more roles were gone in an instant.
It has now been almost 2 years since my sweet Luke moved to heaven. During that time God has healed my broken heart and truly turned my mourning into dancing. I feel alive again. The grief still comes and goes occasionally but overall I am doing good. Being in the widow community I have seen such a need for widows. Many do not have the support that I was given. God gave me a dream to give back to the widow community in many ways. We offer the following support-
- New Widow Visits– a new widow will be visited by a seasoned widow soon after their loss as well as 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 1 year after. During these visits, they will be listened to by a seasoned widow as well as prayed for ( if they would like) The widow visiting will share her contact info to be a support in-between visits. We will also be bringing small gifts at each visit (At this time we are only serving Clark County in WA)
- Podcasts– We create a weekly podcast called “Widowed 2 Soon” to support new widows- It can be found here as well as all podcast platforms
- Social Media Support– we have Instagram and TikTok accounts to inspire and encourage widows
- Coaching– we support widows through weekly individual and group coaching sessions
- Community Building Facebook group- If you would like to be part of a private support group for widows/widowers please click here

More thoughts from Duane- First, here are the scriptures that I have relied on through these times. Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.Psalm 91:1 He that dwells in the secret place of the most high God shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 139: 7-10 7 Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? 8 If I ascend to the heavens, You are there;9 if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea, 10 even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast.For me, part of doing the hard thing has been to take walks and occasionally not listen to anything but the Lord and my own thoughts, guided by the Holy Spirit. It’s been part of the discipline of solitude during this time. And I tried to have conversational prayer and then listen to what God would say to me in those times.Esther was the epitome of a Proverbs 31 woman. She could’ve been anything she desired, and she chose to be a loving wife, mother, homemaker, teacher, friend and mentor. She cared more about others than herself and directed her high emotional intelligence toward showing love and compassion toward everyone she had a conversation with. I feel like a land mine has exploded and I am filled with shrapnel that no one else can see. And yet, there’s an expectation that I’m just fine, and ready to be available just like all the others who are dealing with injuries, less severe, just minor cuts and bruises. In some aspects, I can function and be useful, but in other ways, the major injuries hamper my effectiveness and ability to be fully engaged. I was alongside a person for so many years, who I both drew strength from and gave mine to, so that that moving forward now is extremely uncomfortable and unfamiliar. After 40 years, I was at a place of security, and acceptance with my wife. Now, being without her and her strength of character and emotional stability, has left me unbalanced. I hadn’t felt this way since before we were married, if ever. I had never experienced this kind of positive, mature relationship before in my life. I’m not sure how much of my present disorientation is normal and expected and how much might need special care and attention. I can go on, because in the great marriage God gave me, He taught me lessons that strengthened me personally to better handle whatever comes at me going forward. I am equipped in ways I wouldn’t be if I hadn’t enjoyed the relationship with Esther that I had. My local daughters were an amazing help and support as they also visited my wife in the hospital and then in assisted in fulfilling the advanced directive. That part specifically was extremely painful for all of us and I know this has left wounds in them that they are still dealing with

Post about taking every thought captive
Verses Shared
2 Corinthians 10:5 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Psalm 126:5-6
Those who sow with tears
will reap with songs of joy.
6 Those who go out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with them.

Romans 5:3-4
1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope.
1 Peter 1:6-7
6In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
