Widowed Walk: Experiencing God After the Loss of a Spouse (God and Grief Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Gary Roe (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars (377)
A beloved spouse dies. Your husband, wife, and life partner is gone. Your world is upended. The emotional pain can be intense.

Your heart begins asking questions. "Am I going crazy? Am I going to make it? Where is God in all this?"

Many of the people around you don't know what to say or do. They utter clichés and platitudes.

"It's okay. You're strong. You'll get through this."

You need something more than this - far more. You need to know that it's okay to hurt, to be sad, and to grieve. You need to know that you're not crazy and that your grief is "normal." You need to know that you're not alone in this. You need to know that you will get through this, even though you will not be the same person you were before.

And most of all, you need the comfort of God's presence. You need to experience his compassion and love. You need to know he is walking with you in your pain and grief.

And that's what Widowed Walk is all about.

Multiple award-winning author, speaker, hospice chaplain, and grief specialist Gary Roe has become a trusted voice in grief recovery who has been bringing comfort, hope, and encouragement to wounded hearts for more than three decades. A former missionary and pastor, Gary knows the spiritual questions that tug at your heart during this time of deep loss.

Of his own losses, Gary says, "Even in my darkest moments, God was there, embracing me in my pain and whispering to my wounded heart. He kept me alive. He has led me through the valley of the shadow of death many times. He continues to bring healing to my injured soul, though never quite in the way I ask for or anticipate. And, true to his loving nature, He continues to take my losses and use them for good, in my life and in the lives of those around me.

"God meets us in our pain and embraces us. He journeys with us through the emotional upheaval, mental confusion, physical distress, spiritual questioning, and relational changes. Jesus has personally experienced more pain, suffering, and grief than we can fathom. He knows. He gets it. He is the best grief companion imaginable.

He walks with us through the loss of our spouse. That's what Widowed Walk is all about.

Widowed Walk is designed to be read one chapter a day. Consider it a grief devotional. Take your time. Open your heart. Be honest about your thoughts and emotions. Allow Jesus to meet you in each day's reading.

God is with you in your pain and grief. He loves you where you are, as you are. If you're willing, He will bring healing and growth to your broken heart. He will somehow use the loss of your beloved spouse for good - in your life and in the lives of those you touch.

Let the Widowed Walk begin...

Editorial Reviews

Review

Amid the pain and grief from the loss of a spouse, we look up and ask, "Where is God?" The words "you need to know you are not alone in this" is what separates this book from so many. Pastor and Author Gary Roe has once again solidified his status as the "go-to" resource for people struggling with grief. Keen insight and practical approach are how Gary Roe consistently and compassionately touches on the subjects that widowed spouses going through grief actually need to hear, like "It's ok to grieve". Widowed Walk takes it to the next level by combining his knowledge as a top grief counselor in with his heart of a Pastor. A must read for spouses going through the pain of grief.--Scott Willmore, Senior Pastor, The Word Community Church

"Grief is a daily journey after the loss of a beloved spouse. Gary Roe has captured the essence of this struggle and provided on-point encouragement for each day of the journey. Well done!"--Dr. Tony Taylor, Senior Pastor, Hilltop Lakes Chapel

"A widowed griever's journey can be painful, lonely and overwhelming. Widowed Walk filters our feelings with faith, reminding us--we are not alone. God walks with us every step of the way."--Dr. Charles W. Page, MD, author of A Spoonful of Courage for the Sick and Suffering

"Gary has done it again! Widowed Walk hits on all the emotions I have heard widowed spouses speak about during my time as a Chaplain and leading support groups. I believe that all who read this book will be able to relate to the emotions and find comfort, affirmation, and hope. The way faith is incorporated with the grief journey is refreshing. I have not found material that speaks about the challenges of prayer, scripture reading, and church attendance during the grief journey as Widowed Walk does. I will be using this book for future support groups as I know this is going to help spouses break through barriers and into spiritual freedom."--Jessica D. Wilson, Hospice Chaplain, Life Coach

"The grief journey is unique to every widowed spouse. Those who are Christians have a God that knows this personally. Jesus, when He walked around among us, experienced grief. He wept. In Widowed Walk: Experiencing God After the Loss of a Spouse, Gary Roe uses God's word to create daily readings where the griever walks with God. The tough questions and emotions are addressed head-on, allowing the reader to experience the Jesus, the Balm of Gilead, to make them whole again."--Glen Lord, Board President, The Compassionate Friends, President and CEO, The Grief Toolbox

"Gary offers real, raw, and rational discussion on grief after the loss of a spouse. He brings the practicality of experience and the truth of the Bible to help soothe the suffering soul. Grief is a journey, and Gary leads the reader from hurt to healing."--Dr. Troy Allen, Pastor, First Baptist Church College Station

"Widowed Walk is a collection of comforting blankets to wraparound your shoulders when you are feeling the pain of the spouse you dearly loved. The words speak directly to your grieving heart, reassuring you that you are not alone. The short chapters make it easy to pick up and read for just a few moments at a time."--Kathy Trim, Missionary Care and MK Care, TEAM Japan

    I haven’t finished this yet to be honest. I keep going back to it and reading other books as well. My brain still has trouble focusing at times. Window brain combined with depression is a daily struggle. But this is more of a daily devotional type read with scripture reference and a prayer after each page. Every day I was like Yes, this is exactly how I feel. So much so that at times my anger or pain was worse sitting there staring at my exact feelings in print. I would take a break for a couple days and go back to it. It’s helpful but beware it definitely puts words to your inner feelings you may have tried to keep pushed away so it makes you face your feelings. My pages had lots of tears soaked in them.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2025

    This book is excellent. I don’t know what I’d do without it. My husband died three months ago. Gary Roe is one of the few “safe friends” I have at this time. He so understands the experience of grief over a spouse. It is absolutely crushing. People around you disappear. They become afraid of you or they still have their spouse and don’t want you to make them think of their own potential loss. Or, they become irritable because their quick fix of a “fun night out” in no way meets your need. The sadness over a dead spouse goes on and on and on. This book is one of my best companions right now. I highly recommend it for those who are widowed.

    Gary Roe has a compassionate heart and spirit. He is well acquainted with grief (sadly) - which makes his books timely and spot on.
    "Widowed Walk: Experiencing God After the Loss of a Spouse", is concise, easy to read, and extremely targeted to the needs of a widow/widower.
    I have been a widow for almost 6 years, and his words in this book speak to my heart in a way, and on a level, that I have never experienced.
    There are a lot of "grief authors" and "grief books", but I have yet to read any that come close to being as personal and touching my heart, the way that Gary's books do.
    I love the way that this particular book is broken into days! I am not overwhelmed with a lot of information to process. Just enough to allow me to take a deep breath and say, "Someone else gets this!" If you do not understand, count yourself very blessed.
    Thank you Gary for all that you do for us!!!

    Many grief books are generic when it comes to faith. Gary uses his faith to help those who are in deep grief heal. This book is easy reading for those of us with "widow brain". Just a couple of pages complete a question/ comment by someone in grief that Gary responds to. All our grief is different so some things may not apply to how you feel, but always good to know other people have the same feelings and that youre not crazy! Thank you Gary.

    I find Gary Roe to be a compassionate author Who has the unique blend of understanding my sorrow while offering me hope. This book is laid out in readable chunks. During a time when my brain doesn’t even want to process making coffee, (the most important part of my day)… I am able to absorb these words off the page while deep in my grief. I think this is because Gary really understands. That is what we need most, to be understood In our grief and our pain. It is sorely lacking in the world and society at large. Where can you find comfort? Read this book! I rarely meet people with this depth of care who are also able to minister to me. I think not only should you read this book but you should get to know Gary, he truly loves to help hurting souls because he’s been there.--

    This book is well written. Taking excerpts from what others have gone through and what they truly felt...made my grief after losing my husband easier to deal with because I knew I wasnt alone in how I feel. Tying in scripture was a beautiful way of reminding me that God hasnt left me either...that He is right beside me with His strength. Reading this book a chapter a day was the encouragement that was needed. I may even start it again. Thank you!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 22, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    All through this book, we are told that God is with us, cares for us, keeps us safe etc. As it was God who took my husband away and ruined my life, I found this a bit upsetting. People say everything happens for a reason. I have yet to work out what reason could be enough that my husband had to die. He was wonderful, loving, kind, generous and fair and I have no idea why God saw fit to take such a lovely man when there are awful people still here on this earth.
    If this book brings you comfort, I am truly happy for you but the Author's insistence that 'God knows best' just infuriated me. He may have had bad experiences but until he experiences the loss of his wife, he has no idea how people like me feel.
