BW 049 - Giving Back and Grieving as a Mother of Young Children - with Jessica Gonzales

Jessi is a young widow and a mother of three young children who felt like no one was there for her when she lost her spouse. She planned the funeral all by herself. She continued to raise her children all by herself, and she really felt very lonely. During a time when most people feel that they're angry with God or they become distanced from God, Jessi views her experience of losing her spouse as a wake up call and a way that God used her to pull her closer to him. I hope you enjoy this podcast episode as much as I did. Jessi gives back to other widows. She's written a book. She's given advice. She's physically gone out and served other widows and given other people what she wished she would have had during that experience. You can find Jessi's book under her pen name, Amber Faith at: Barnes & Nobles Amazon   ____________________________________________________________________________________   The Brave Widow Community is a place where you can connect with other widows, find hope and healing, and begin to dream again for the future.  Learn more at bravewidow.com.     Hey guys, I’m Emily Jones I was widowed at age 37, one month shy of our 20 year wedding anniversary.  Nathan and I have four beautiful children together.  My world was turned completely upside down when I lost him.  With faith, community, and wisdom from others, I’ve been able to find hope, joy, and dream again for the future.  I want to help others do the same, too!   FOLLOW me on SOCIAL: Twitter | @brave_widow Instagram | @brave_widow Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/bravewidow YouTube | @bravewidow
