16 | Life After Losing My Husband: A Catholic Word for Widows

In this episode of Spiritual ICU, Aloisia (Sia) and Kalala reflect on life after the loss of a husband and the question many widows carry: what now? Rooted in Luke 7:12–15, they walk through the moment Jesus encounters a grieving widow. Before she sees Him, He sees her. Moved with compassion, He steps in. This becomes the lens for understanding how God meets us in loss. Kalala shares what it was like to lose her husband of 30 years, including a dream where God revealed that “his body is tired.” What followed was both resistance and surrender, as she wrestled with letting go and chose, “not my will, but Your will be done.” From that moment, a deep, steady peace began to take root even in grief. Together, they unpack how grief lives in the ordinary, why the smallest moments become the most missed, and how sorrow and peace can exist at the same time. They describe grief as an ache for reunion and reflect on the truth that changes everything: heaven is real. If you are navigating life after the loss of a spouse, this episode is a reminder: God sees you, meets you with compassion, and holds you steady even here.
