Widowed people may or may not find love again. If they do, often they face judgment, saying they are being disrespectful to the memory of their loved one. On the other hand, some can't understand why they may decide to never love another person. The bottom line is that it's really nobody's business. In my case, I did choose to love again, and this is why...

As I continued my journey after the loss of my wife Pam I've had a series of what I call God moments that have happened in some of the most unlikely places. No matter what your beliefs, these events I share cannot be attributed to simple fate, luck or whatever you want to call it. No, I truly believe God was there and arranged these events. I think you will agree after listening to this one which involves me attending a college basketball game in Febuary 2020 between Oregon and Oregon State. I hope you enjoy.
Join us as we reflect on our amazing journey together this past year! Discover the joys and challenges of our intercultural marriage.

I was recently alone on a cold Sunday afternoon when I was reminded about life as a widower and what it was like compared to my life now. #widow #cold #weather
Do you ever feel trapped in anxious thoughts? Having repetitive thinking can be overcome but it takes a conscious effort.
So you've lost your husband or wife. Your life partner. However, as you walk thru your grief you have probably come to realize that losing a spouse is like losing part of your soul. How do you keep going? Is there any purpose to life now? Will I re-marry? Or not?
What is life like for me 5 years after losing my beautiful wife Pam. It's very different in ways I could not have imagined.
After losing my wife of 30+ years I was convinced that God intended for me to remain single, alone and sad until I was finally called to heaven. For 4 years this was certainly the case and the plan was being played out. However, things then changed and I realized life is sometimes not played out as I may have imagined. For some, finding love again is beautiful. For others, it may not be in the plan. And sadly, for others you may find love but it doesn't work out. I'm not expert, but my experience is to take it slow which I talk about in my latest podcast.
Life can be complicated. There has never been a truer statement. However, living in the past too much as well as the future too much can cause emotional confusion. So, what should you do?
I'm now going towards my 5th year of having lost the love of my live Pam. For most of this time I had decided life would and needed to be spent alone until the day I was called to heaven. However, something totally unexpected happened. I met a woman who has changed my life and I now look forward to the days ahead. This woman does not fit inside the proverbial "box". In fact our relationship in general does not fit inside the "box". However, it works and has become something I never expected. BTW, at the time of this being released, we have now been married 9 months and seeing the true blessings of God.
Being a widow or widower can totally suck at times. For me, I first met my sweet wife Pam in high school. We then dated and married after our first year in college. When I lost her far before we were even thinking about retirement it became clear if God kept me on this earth to the minimum life expectancy, I was going to be alone for many, many years. Of course some widows and widowers find love again and are often not alone for very long. For me, I often kid that I outkicked the coverage with Pam and have no hope or really any desire of meeting someone else. So, like many in my shoes I've come to accept the single life which can be very challenging at times. For this show I will share some of my thougths on survival as well as thoughts from our 94 year old grandmother Lola who lost her husband fairly young in life and has lived almost three decades single. This may not be the most uplifting message but it does have a few nuggets of gold I hope will help you in your grief journey.
#widower #loss #lifeexpectations https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D8GNYSV4/ref=sr_1_1?crid This is nothing new, but no matter how much we plan out our lives, there are going to be disappointments. At the same time, over the course of life we often have our expectations met and often exceeded. But...it's those times when life falls short that we can drift into a period of sadness. Loss of a loved one can be one of those triggers. At the same time, despite loss we can still have high expectations for the future. That's all part of my latest message as prepare to enter year three as a widower without my beautiful bride Pam.
Have you ever been stopped by a police officer while driving? How do you deal with a traffic stop? We were recently pulled over by a traffic officer and we were scared out of our minds. We thought we were going to jail. The good news is we did not. This is how we handled it.
Finding love again may not be on your radar. But then again, a far higher power may have other plans for your life.
While listening to an episode of The Dave Ramsey Show we heard an interesting call about a young man paying for his bride with gold and a lavish wedding they could not afford. Sounds crazy, but it happens. Join us a we talk about this and our adventure of crossing the culture line thru marriage.
I never imagined getting married again after losing my lovely wife Pam of over 30 years. But...God had other plans and brought this beautiful Kenyan woman named Nicole into my life. No, we did not meet online or through a catalogue, ha! ha! We actually met in church in Phoenix. What started as a friendship, developed into love and eventually we got married. We both are very happy and despite our age, race and cultural differences it manages to work. In this show we talk a little about some of those cultural differences and the fun they can provide.
