The First Steps of Courage

Getting through the first month

Whether you saw it coming or not, nothing truly prepares you for this journey.

So much changes in an instant. Now, you are responsible for so much, so quickly, with so little mental, emotional, and, it seems like, physical bandwidth to do it. Grief is tiring. Allow yourself to cry and remember to breathe.

The shock of this journey is why we have prepared a concise list of things that need to be done in the first disorienting month. It's one page.

The checklist is not exhaustive, because you are already exhausted and need things in bite-sized chunks. After all, the elephant is eaten one bite at a time.

When you are ready to move forward, we are here to support you.

Small Action,

Big Win

Deep Calls to Deep

Taken from Psalm 42:7, “Deep calls to deep” is poetic shorthand for a meeting point between the deepest parts of human experience and the infinite depth of God’s reality—whether in need, sorrow, or longing. It says, in effect: “From the depth of who I am, I am crying out—and the depth of who You are is answering me, even through these overwhelming waves.”

Deep Calls to Deep: Finding God's Presence in the Depths of Grief Devotional was created with widows in mind, especially those navigating the first year after loss, when the fog feels thickest and the waves feel relentless and your focus is the shortest.

Each day begins with a small, consistent action or goal called “Small Action, Big Win” to build confidence and momentum, reminding you of your strength and capacity to move forward even when healing feels overwhelming. From there, it's composed of brief, digestible, daily nuggets, that help prevent overwhelm, over 22 weeks, so you can stay connected to the one who will carry you through.

In the depths of grief, your cry rises to God’s depth of love. He sees you. He is with you. So, be encouraged. You are not alone.
