Steps After Loss
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
In Time of Needs knows that nothing prepares us for the shock, pain, and bewilderment of losing a spouse. Whether you are a surviving wife or a surviving husband, bereavement tosses you headfirst into a world where everything familiar seems absent. You feel alone, vulnerable, and unable to think about anything other than your grief. God is with you. Lean on the Lord Jesus Christ. Allow His comfort to lay upon the heart.

The good news is that there is hope and new direction at the end of the journey. No matter how dark things seem in the immediate aftermath of bereavement, light can still be found by taking one step at a time.
