My beloved husband passed on to Heaven a year and two months ago. I loved him so much, and I miss him so terribly, but I am glad that he is no longer in pain. For some reason though, I have been filled with anxiety and fear ever since he passed…I watched him die and think maybe I was traumatized by it…because since he left, I always feel like I’m going to make a mistake and that something bad is going to happen. We were retired for almost 30 years and during that time I rarely drove. I am now 81 years old but in good health body and mind. Since he left, I’ve had to drive and a lot of my fear is connected to driving. There is more traffic now in my city and that doesn’t help my concerns about driving although it has eased slightly but not enough. I do drive but I dread each time and try to put it off as long as I can. I also ask God to push back the enemy causing me fear and mostly I’ve done ok, but I still have fear about it and often feel anxious about that and other unknown things even though my son helps me with many things when he can. I love God’s Word and read my Bible and pray a lot every day and I praise God for how He’s helped me through all this but I still feel anxious, fearful and sad a lot. I understand the sad, but I want the anxiety and fear to leave me alone. I will always love and remember my husband but I want peace in my life again and I know he would want that for me too. Thank you for your prayers.
I am praying for God’s peace to fill your heart, calm your fears, and ease your anxiety as you navigate this season of life without your beloved husband. May His presence bring you comfort, courage, and the reassurance that He is guiding you through each challenge you face.
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” – John 14:27
