grief, Joyful Life

Widows – Declare Your Independence!

Does it feel like you’ve been in a war with the grief monster ever since your spouse passed away and left you alone?

Well of course it does.

However, you live in the United States of America.

You live in the best country for widows to move forward with life. You have freedom and opportunities women in other countries are are not afforded. Opportunities for a better life are all around you and if you do not see opportunities – then create them.

But first you have to declare your independence from the grief monster.

You are going to have to fight a war in order to declare your independence from the grief monster’s tyrannical grip. You will win some battles and you will lose some battles. But this war must be fought and with God fighting for you, you will be victorious!

So widows, declare your independence from the grief monster and shoot off your own fireworks as you move pursue your American Dream.

We are a light and what better way to shine your light than with fireworks.

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden

Matthew 5:14
