Widowed 2 Soon; Advice on Faith, Mental Health, and Dating Again

84- Widowed by Suicide with Special Guest Kimberly Koland


Listen Later

In this heartfelt and candid conversation, join us as we delve into the sensitive topics of mental health, marriage, and the devastating loss of a loved one to suicide. Kimberly bravely shares her personal journey, shedding light on the challenges she faced shortly after marrying her husband, Brian.

Discover the power of open dialogue as Kimberly recounts her husband's struggles with mental health, which were initially kept hidden from her. She discusses the impact of stigma and the lack of awareness surrounding mental health issues within their community and family. Despite their efforts to seek therapy and support, Brian's condition deteriorated, culminating in a tragic event that forever altered Kimberly's life.

Throughout the conversation, we confront the misconception that suicide prevents individuals from finding peace and going to heaven. Our speakers challenge this belief by emphasizing the unconditional love and grace offered by God, reminding us that mental illness does not negate salvation.

Join us as we explore themes of faith, grace, and the enduring hope that sustains us in times of deep sorrow. Gain insight into the process of healing and find solace in the shared experiences of those who have faced similar challenges. This conversation aims to raise awareness, foster empathy, and encourage meaningful conversations surrounding mental health.

If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues or has been affected by suicide, we hope this discussion serves as a source of comfort, encouragement, and a reminder that you are not alone. Let us come together to support one another and spread hope in the face of adversity.
