“I felt like I would never be whole without my husband. Rachel helped me see that the Lord still has a beautiful future for me. I have hope again.”
“I tried a lot of things to find help as a widow, but I was still so overwhelmed and discouraged. Rachel finally gave me real steps forward.”
“Rachel helped me stop waiting for life to get better and actually take action. And I am doing it more confidently with Jesus.”
Rachel is a woman who deeply loves the Lord more than life. She has allowed God to use His Word, the Holy Spirit, the trials and joys and the people God has given her to give wisdom, refinement and courage. Rachel has walked through many deep things that only God could heal and equip in, and has come out stronger for it with healing that only God could provide.
• We are safe, empathetic grief companions to each other
• We also prioritize ownership of, & forward movement in, our grief
We believe that validation & comfort in pain, especially from other widows who "get it," creates healing relationships:
Where we can also encourage and challenge one another out of grief that gets stuck in defensiveness, self-pity, and that circles the drain of hopelessness.
We desire not to survive or endure, but to live fully for Jesus, receiving "the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living"- the life we still have ahead of us!
• We provide ongoing, consistent support through connection & coaching
If you have tried things but feel stuck, lost and alone in widowhood - it isn't working.
The HOPE Stronghold is an community that you can be connected to 24/7 in a space that has vision, growth and momentum.
Our virtual forum and weekly calls provide reliable spaces to grieve, heal and rebuild. Rachel provides coaching, tools and resources in these spaces (and 1:1 coaching support is an additional option for those interested).
