Anchored In Grace

Grief and Grace Community

Coming October 6th, 2026

Welcome. Your interest in joining our Anchored In Grace: Grief & Grace Community truly touches my heart.

Grief can make you feel like the world keeps moving while you're trying to figure out how to breathe again. Anchored In Grace is a faith-centered space for grieving hearts, especially those grieving the loss of a spouse.

My Journey, Our Community

After unexpectantly losing my husband a year after unexpectantly losing my mother, I longed for a place where grieving hearts could find understanding, support, and practical help. My search revealed how few testimonial resources truly exist for those of us walking through deep loss, spaces that honor both the weight of grief and the grace and hope of healing. Through prayer and my own journey, I discovered I wasn't alone in this need.

This is a place where you don’t have to rush your healing, explain your tears, or “be strong” for everyone else. Here, we make room for the real journey, lament, questions, memories, the roller coaster of emotions, and the slow work of learning how to live in a world that has changed.

We hold space for both grief and grace: the deep love behind your loss, the ache of what should still be here, and the sacred honor of the one you miss. And we also hold space for the steady truth that God is still near, present in the heartbreak, gentle with your process, and faithful to carry you day by day.

Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. Hope doesn’t minimize what you’ve lost. It simply means that, in time, God can meet you with strength for today, comfort for the hard moments, and grace for each next step, while your love and their memory remain precious

What We Offer

Anchored In Grace officially launches on October 6th, 2026, in honor of my late husband’s birthday. We are a growing and thriving community where widows and widowers come together to share their stories of hope after loss.

We offer:

  • Grief & Grace Retreats & Workshops: in-person and virtual gatherings for healing, connection, and spiritual grounding

  • Outreach Opportunities: ways to share your story and bring hope to others through published resources and community projects

  • Writing & Publishing Support: help telling your story with no experience necessary; just a willing heart

  • Faith-Centered Resources: devotionals, Bible studies, and practices for healing and forward movement

  • Encouragement & Community: We host virtual and in-person cooking classes, movie nights, and Community Care Circles, where widows and widowers share skills, resources, and trusted referrals to support one another in real life.

  • Be featured in our Community Testimony Book Project: a collection of widows’ and widowers’ stories of healing, faith, and God’s faithfulness after loss.

You're Welcome Here

Whether you're learning how to live again after loss, searching for hope in the middle of heartbreak, asking God why, or simply needing a safe community that understands, you are welcome here. Your story isn't over, and you don't have to walk this road alone.

If you feel called to share your testimony, ask questions, offer suggestions, or connect with our community, I invite you to submit an inquiry on our contact page and select "Anchored In Grace Community" as your topic. Your voice is welcome here. My prayer is that Anchored In Grace will be shaped by the experiences and needs of all its members, not just my own.

Thank you for considering being part of this community. I look forward to walking this journey together.

“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.”
