      It must be so hard to lose someone you love that was so close to you I can't imagine the pain but you can't stop living ur husband wouldn't want that he'll want you to be happy u don't want him to be someone that brought happiness in ur life and now sadness. If you can't be strong for yourself try be for him he wouldn't want to see you miserable because of his death he'll want you to try be happy because that's what those that love us want. I hope you find the strength in you to stay strong and have faith.

    I too was at young widow, losing my husband when I was 27. Now I'm 32 and my life isn't where I thought it would be at all. I remember how hard it was to find people my age who were also widowed. I even resorted to looking online and specifically searching for "losing a spouse in your 20's" or something like that, just hoping to find an article or something from someone I could relate to. Thank you so much for sharing your story and being so open and honest. You are helping so many women feel less alone just by making your videos. If you need someone to talk to who has been through it as well (my husband died suddenly as well) I will always be here for you. We young widows are a small group of women, yet we are all beautiful and stronger than we realize. Remember, God gives His toughest battles to His strongest soldiers. I love you and you're in my prayers every day.

      Ashley Cotton I know 42 is not the same as 27 buy my friends husband retired from the navy after 20 years of service at 40 years old. He was a contractor for the navy (I think that is what it is called) & had to go to Japan for work. His doctor authorized him to go. He was only there for a few days when she got a call that he had a heart attack & had went to the Military hospital but they could not help him so they sent him to the Japanese hospital. He did not make it. This was so hard for her, their 20 yr old son, and their 16 year old daughter. Especially for their daughter. He was working to save them money to have fun when he could no longer work but everything was just taken away at such a young age! 😰💔

    My sister got married when she was 21 and when she was 28 (my brother in law was 32) he sadly passed away after a short battle with cancer. Your story reminds me so much of what she went through and I can only imagine what you must be going through. I've been with my husband now for almost 20 years, 2 children and it was young love, I know what you felt in your heart for your husband and I feel your pain. I watched your q and a and I wanted to share a moment I had 17 years ago when my brother in law passed away. I'm from Australia but he and my sister lived in Canada, I went there to be with her during that time.
    One night I had a dream, and I was driving in a car with my brother in law and we were talking about life and his journey, he was happy and free and seemed at peace. My sister was sitting in the back with her head down crying, and I said why can't she see you? He said because she's in too much pain, I asked will she be ok? And he said with a big smile and laugh 'yes!' She has a long life ahead of her, I have picked out the perfect man for her his name is Tom, and she'll be so happy and she'll become a mum.
    It was such a beautiful dream and I did tell my sister about it, but I left out bits of the man because it was too soon to talk about that with her.
    Around 5 years later I was obviously back home in Australia and we were talking on the phone and she said I have a date, my cousins had set her up with this guy and she was abit reluctant, it was her first date since her husband passed it'd been 5 years. I said oh that's so nice I hope you enjoy yourself, it's just one date see how you go, I asked what's his name? She said Tom... the hairs on my arms stood up and I said oh you're going to marry that guy. She laughed and said don't be silly it's just a date. Well 1 year later they did get married and they've been happy ever since and I have a beautiful almost teenage nephew.
    You are so positive about life and your words about encouraged me back into my faith, I wanted to share that story because to some people it was just a dream, but I know for certain my brother in law came to me to let me know everything was ok. They are never far from us and they're lives are but brief but their presence and impact lasts a lifetime, like my brother in law their spirits are free and their purpose was lived. When the time is right your purpose will come to light, if it's being a mother and raising children that will happen at the right time and I truly believe Curtis already knows your future and welcomes your blessings. xx

    I too am a young widow. I'm currently 26 and my husband passed suddenly last November he was a veteran of the Air Force. We have a 2 1/2 year old son who keeps me going! My faith in god has become even stronger since my husbands passing, I've realized so much and I have grown tremendously.... I've become somewhat fearless and less afraid of living life and experiencing new things, it's truly opened my eyes but of course through this transition comes this overwhelming grief, some days I feel like I can't go on and I cry and cry but I have to remember that god has a plan for me and that I was blessed to have my husband in my life for that period of time. Being a young widow is definitely hard and sometimes seems impossible but keeping that faith and love in god and knowing he is guiding me gives me hope that life will get better. Thank you for letting us widows know we are not alone! God bless ❤️❤️🙏🏼

    My boyfriend/bestfriend (22yrs old) went home to heaven last June unexpectedly. He was on his way back from serving in a sister church located in Mexico, the driver lost control of the car and out of the 4 passengers he was the only one to pass away. Although I am not a widow I can relate to the pain of being separated physically from the person you wanted to spend the rest of your life with. Paul was the man I wanted to serve the Lord with until we grew old (both of us wanted that) but our plans werent Gods plans and it was hard to accept it and let God heal me. Yet through the anger and pain He was my fortress through His word He comforted me... "The Lord gives and takes away" He is sovereign and I was no one to question Him. Eventually I had to give in to Gods plan for me, He pulled me out of the depression and healed my heart. I understood that letting go does not mean you have to forget. I am definitely not the same person anymore,this taught me to number my days because the reality is our days ARE numbered and predetermined by God. Of course I still miss Paul so much but I am confident God has a purpose for everyone and everything. He uses everything for good ,for His glory! 🙏🙏🙏
    Michelle I admire Gods strength in you and pray He keeps using you to bring light and hope to those who need to hear about Jesus, may He bring healing to your heart and fill you more and more with His Spirit. God bless you always. Dont know if you will get to read this but thank you so much for pouring your heart out to us and for sharing Jesus! Love you girl! ❤💜💙💪😘

I ask you to use her testimony to help someone who is also hurting, see that there is hope in Jesus Christ. I pray that you will cover her under the shadow of your wings and she will cling to the truth that you will never leave her or forsake her. Let your love wash over her and continue to sing over her life in Jesus name Amen! Love you my sister.

    Your testimony is exactly what Widow's and Widower's need to hear! I am an older widow, I was 53 and he was 55 when he passed away. What you said about how it changed your relationship with God, is exactly what I have experienced. It is now 7 years since he passed away in my arms,1 year battle with Cancer. I thought I was somewhat prepared for his passing, as we knew from diagnosis he was terminal. I'm grateful for that last year, but truly your heart is never prepared when the die. Learning to be, that widow, takes time. Grieving takes time. And no two people grieve the loss of a loved on the same! One day, one hour, sometimes one breath at a time and having God at the center of your life is what keeps us going !!! God bless you and keep you !! Hugs from Kansas !!

    It is so wonderful to hear this from such a young person which is rare in these days. I became a widow when my kids were teens. I have to testify that God NEVER forsook me. He paid all my bills, he found me a high paying job, He brought me friends and favor in other peoples eyes. Eventually a wonderful husband came into my life,and we share grandchildren now, He is now my daughters stepdad and grandfather to her child. I just surrendered to Him and allowed Him to work because I knew I was His child. This was actually done in a state of despair. I am in Union with Him forever and will never be forgetting this for one moment. I pray for you also

His service was on my 40th birthday. This has been the absolute HARDEST thing I have ever gone through. We had so many plans together and now they are just crushed. I honestly don't think I'd still be here myself if it weren't for my kids. You are a beautiful woman and I'm sending prayers your way!!!

    I just want to say how encouraging you have been to me. When I first watched your video about your husband passing a few months ago, I didn't know what was in store for me just a few months later. On Saturday, July 22nd my boyfriend, father of my son, and bestest friend was called home to the Lord. While I would like to explain the events of that day to you, it's honestly too much to type but I can't begin to express the different kind of emotions I've been feeling the last 9 days. When I got home that day, I remembered your video you posted about losing your husband and remembered you mentioning the song "Abba" (which I am going to listen to right after this) and just saying I want to rewatch the video from MichelleAna. Today I finally got up the strength to watch it and it touched my heart and although it is rough, God allowed me to see your video months ago because He knew that it would give me strength and confidence to get through this now. I am resting COMPLETELY in the Lord and just allowing Him to just reveal whatever He needs to reveal to me. I know this journey for me has just begun but my faith in Jesus will see me through. Thank you once again for sharing this part of your life and pray that God continues to strengthen you and provide the peace that you need when you have those moments when you miss your husband/best friend. Be blessed! ❤️

    My mother became a widow at 24, with 3 children, after my dad passed. They had been together since the 7th grade. He died in an accident. It is so hard to heal from, especially when its so sudden and you don't have time to process what is going to happen. I hope you are doing better, learning to cope, and that you are healing. It will never be something you "get over" you will just learn to live with it , understand, and deal with the situation. He will always be a huge part of you, and you will always love him. You have a guardian angel.

I was 18 when my boyfriend & first loved died in a car wreck, & even though we were not married, it completely changed my life. I was with him for four years prior to that moment. I'm 25 now, & the ache in my heart has lessened over time, but will never completely leave. God, family, & friends helped me make it through. I want you to know that I have been praying for you for days now, & I'm so sorry that this happened. Stay strong, beautiful. Love you!

So I totally understand how tough its been for you. You are a strong, brave woman, stay focused and you will be ok sister. You are such an inspirational woman for so many women out there. I know your vlogs will be helping them right now. Don't forget to reach out to others when u have a moment of despair. Because u will continue to have flashbacks of what happened. I hope that God continues to give u inner peace and calm in such difficult times.

    I am so proud of how much courage you have to post these videos. My mother is a widow and I've seen how hard it was for her to move on. You are so beautiful and strong! Any small you tubers here who want to be friends and support each other?

    I got 5 Minutes into this video and had to stop watching. I can't even, I'm almost in tears because we are the same age and your living my biggest fear. You such a strong woman for allowing your world to still turn because I know mine would stop. And yes, we go threw mountains to show others how they can be moved. I'll probably never be able to finish this video, but I know God is with you & holds you close!! Stay strong!!!!

    I remember seeing your video in explaining how u lost your husband and I was so drawn to you. I listened to his memorial and I cried. I felt something inside as I watched it and every time I watch u. I had a fight with my son yesterday and I was so angry and hurt. The only thing I thought to do was to come to your channel to calm me down. As I was in tears, I listened to your rendition of Abba and I felt the anger lift from my heart. You radiate so much light and your words give such hope. I am so inspired by u. Thank u so much for being a genuine and beautiful soul despite what u have been going through. I'm always in awe of u. God bless.

    Dear Michelle:
    Although I am not a widow, I would like to thank you for sharing your story. I would also like to thank you for your words of encouragement nearing the closing of this video. At this present time, I'm going through a trying situation in my life. To be honest, at times I feel like I could give up; but God won't allow me to do that. I know that God has called on me to serve Him in this capacity. It is my true belief that He does not place more on us than what we can bear. thank you for reminding us that God is holding every piece of our hearts together. Thank you for reminding us that no matter what we may be facing, everything will be okay. I understand that to get to the blessings, I must go through the storm. The storm allows us to appreciate our blessings once received. thank you for your Faith, Grace, and constant encouragement once again.

    You're such an inspiration to me and I get and feel everything you say. I lost my soul mate 5 months ago and I just turned 25 in May. We have two beautiful babies together a daughter and son who are 2 and 3 our entire life and path has changed. I'm back with my parents aswel, I'm still trying to figure this out but I get you!! I'm a whole different person. It's almost as if I'm trying to reinvent myself. I built my life around him, as a wife, as a mother, so now I'm trying to figure out, what do I do now? I know for sure that in want to make something of myself and my children. It's woken me up so much. Life is way too short.
    I have so much love and respect for you and for Curtis. I know how it feels xxxxxxxxx

    I had done a plan on the Bible app that talked about something along the lines of "if you depend too much on lying, your sentence will be shown on Judgement Day: if you depend too much on your spouse, they'll die... {continued}" Proverbs 25:16 says "if you find honey, eat just enough because too much and you'll vomit." I had went through bad times in my life that some things had become surreal, that it couldn't be happening to me but I realize at those times I didn't have as big of a relationship with God as I do today. I always think of my kids at work, if I tell them to do something and it isn't followed or they're not listening to what I say, I take away time and I believe that God is taking away possessions to get our attention. Grieving is a natural process, it won't take just a year to get over, one day someone will be grieving our loss. Just know that God is our one and only best friend, mentor, lover, father {anything you can imagine}. Our relationship with him is our #1 priority and I see you have that! This is the best inspiration CZcams channel ever!! 💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘 I feel like I am opened up now

    Hi Michelle. I’m a fairly young widow, too. I just turned 50. My husband and I we’re married two months shy of 29 years. Thank you for sharing your story. It helps to find people who has been through it. Your thoughts concerning purpose is exactly how I feel. Although my heart once ached with grief, I now see and embrace that The Lord has so much for me to do and I must fulfill purpose and destiny! Again, thank you for sharing. I look forward to listening to another one of your blogs. Be blessed, woman of God!

    Remember there is not set time to be over grief. My dad died 4 years ago and it feels like it has been 4 months. I saw your first video on this topic when your hubby went to heaven. Keep taking one day at a time. Some days will be triggers and you'll have a crying day, some days you'll laugh about something he said or did. One day you'll be able to cope, but you'll never be over it. God bless..
