Healing After Losing My Husband Unexpectedly - Dell's Story

Psalm 147:3 (NKJV) says: "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Philippians 3:3-14: (NKJV) says: "Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Genesis 41:51 (NKJV) says: "Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: 'For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.'" Experiencing the death of a loved one is never easy. More specifically, the loss of a spouse. In this episode, I speak with Dell Porter about how God helped her to heal after losing her husband, Kenny, unexpectedly. What you will see and hear mostly however, is the joy and peace she now has since her loss because of her dependence on God to be her healer. Over 20 years later, God has helped her to leave that painful experience behind and move forward with her life, and has even caused her to forget painful memories from her past. In this episode, you will also hear about: her upbringing in the South as a little girl, how her upbringing helped her with discerning the motives of men as a young woman, the story of how she met her husband, what the proposal was like, their emotions on their wedding day, what the waiting period was like prior to marriage, wisdom for singles who are waiting, what life was like for her and her husband after they married, some of the pros with marrying in her late 30s, how her husband died unexpectedly and her emotions on that day, her questions to God after he passed, the period of depression she dealt with for months after his passing, how her family and friends provided support for her during this time, the moment of breakthrough she experienced a year after her loss, how God helped her to heal and forget painful memories, how she encourages others in her shoes to process their grief, her desire of if she wants to be married again or not, what she learned about herself after grieving, and more!
