Show Notes

In this heartfelt episode of A Widow’s Life, Vickie and Cindy are joined by Carmen for an honest conversation about trauma, grief, anxiety, and the healing presence of Jesus. Together, they talk about how loss can leave emotional and even physical wounds, and how those wounds can show up long after the painful moment has passed. They remind listeners that trauma is not something to be ashamed of—it is something Jesus can walk them through with love, grace, and hope.

The conversation explores what it means to ask a powerful question in the middle of pain: Where was Jesus in this moment? Through personal stories of hospital trauma, anxiety, loss, and physical injury, the women share how recognizing that Jesus was present with them brought comfort, perspective, and healing.
