Hope for Widows: Reflections on Mourning, Living, and Change (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781640702844)

Marilyn Nutter is acquainted with life-altering circumstances, most profoundly the unexpected death of her husband of forty-two years while traveling during the Christmas holidays. She writes, not as a professional counselor or through research about grief, but as one who walks that unwelcomed path and continues to find God faithful in every step. God's personally handcrafted mercies and faithfulness promised in Lamentations 3:22-23 have provided security and helped her sort through uncertainty, new decision making, and the need for support. As a facilitator for Grief Support for Spouses at her church and a member of the Greenville chapter of Modern Widows Club, she has found friendship and insights from other widows. She offers her experiences of God-sent encouragement found in the empty space left by her husband, as mourning treasures and hope to other widows. In 2021, Marilyn, with April White, released Destination Hope: A Travel Companion When Life Falls Apart Through her contributions to print, online sites, compilations, as well as her personal blog, Marilyn guides readers to weave hope and purpose into their life stories Marilyn resides in Greer, South Carolina. Her family includes eight grandchildren, scattered across three states. Conversations and splashing in the waves with grands, the simplicity of spreading mulch--along with expressing gratitude at bedtime for five things each day--draw her to hopeful living and gratitude.
