BW 48 - Gratitude in Grief and Finding your Why - with Wensday Stanley

Today I talk with Wensday Stanley. We talk about gratitude and grief. We talk about finding your why and your purpose in this next chapter of life. And we talk about how faith and God plays a role in your grieving and healing journey, or at least how it did for the two of us. Wensday is a 49 year old gymnastics coach. She has two daughters and a stepson, one granddaughter, and married the love of her life at 21. They were married for 27 years. And yes, I asked her what the secret to a happy, successful marriage of 27 years is, and she does give the answer. Her husband died three days after their 27th anniversary. And she's a faithful follower of Christ.   You can find Wensday at: Facebook | Wensday Schlitzberger Stanley Instagram | Wensday Schlitzberger Stanley   ____________________________________________________________________________________   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
