Grief is not just something we feel—it’s something we live through. And when you’ve lost your spouse, the world can feel both painfully quiet and overwhelmingly loud. In the midst of that emotional fog, it’s hard to know where to turn.
That’s why I’m honored to recommend a compassionate, biblically grounded resource for any widow walking this painful road:
W.I.N.G.S.: Hope for Widows in New Growth Seasons
by Virginia Grounds
Why W.I.N.G.S. is So Needed Right Now
Written with deep empathy and spiritual wisdom, W.I.N.G.S. offers both a soft place to land and a steady place to stand. It’s one of the most honest and hopeful books I’ve read for Christian widows. Here’s why it stands out:
💔 It Validates the Mental and Emotional Fog of Grief
-
The book addresses “Widow Brain”—a term many grieving women resonate with.
-
Virginia Grounds explains the cognitive and emotional disorientation that can follow the loss of a spouse.
-
This section alone offers immediate relief by assuring readers: You’re not crazy. You’re grieving.
🕊 It Offers a Safe, Shared Space with Other Widows
-
Throughout the book, Virginia includes testimonies from widows at various stages of grief.
-
These voices make readers feel seen and less alone.
-
Their stories create a sacred sense of community on the page.
✍️ It Provides Practical, Daily Guidance
Each chapter ends with Practical Tips—and I had the privilege of writing them.
These action steps are:
-
Simple but meaningful
-
Designed for overwhelmed hearts
-
Grounded in Scripture and gentle encouragement
Whether it’s how to handle quiet mornings or how to navigate family gatherings, these tips offer hope through tangible next steps.
🌿 It Shifts the Focus from Grief to Growth
-
The book doesn’t gloss over pain—but it gently redirects it toward purpose.
-
With biblical insight, Virginia invites readers to discover God’s faithfulness in their new season.
-
It becomes less about “getting over” the loss and more about growing through it.

New widows feeling disoriented and alone

Why I Personally Recommend It
I’ve spent years walking with grieving women—and I’ve lived through the valley of grief myself.
This book doesn’t offer quick fixes. It offers faithful presence. It’s a kind companion in the dark, gently pointing you back to the One who walks with us even there.
Whether you’re just starting your healing or have been walking it for a while, W.I.N.G.S. offers spiritual nourishment, practical hope, and a renewed sense of identity.
