About Felicia

In the midst of a global pandemic, I lost my husband to Covid-19. It was the hardest thing I had ever been through. He fought for a little over a month.

I was devastated. We closed on our house two weeks before he went into the hospital. He “had a cold”. We were in the process of adopting his biological granddaughter. We were in the process of raising our 9 year old daughter. So much of my future changed in that moment. Watching him slip away, I felt a part of me slipping away as well.

Through therapy, and with prayer and support from my family, I was able to crawl out of the ashes of my world. I had to keep going. I had to be strong, or at least look that way.

I showed my girls a strength I didn’t always feel, but they also saw some of the collapses. I felt hollow, and empty. I have never felt so alone as I did through this time.

I knew eventually I could be happy again, so I dug in. I started reading books on grief, and loss, and widows. I listened to countless podcasts. I leaned on the Word and did bible studies on loss.

I have learned to just keep taking steps forward and work toward a new life and a new future.

I decided to reach out because I don’t want another widow to feel as alone as I did in the beginning. You are not alone. I am here with you.
