S5 E 4 Loving someone after they lost their person
This episode is dedicated to the people out there who dated and married or are dating someone whose partner or spouse has died. This is looking at grief from a different view point. Dating can spark all kinds of emotions. But what happens when you are interested in someone who has loved before and their person died? You certainly don’t want to seem like you are preying on them. You want to make sure that they like you for you and not just because they are lonely. You might wonder if their friends will like you. You definitely don’t want to be compared to their loved one. What about their families or children? So much to consider. But it can be really great. Today’s episode features Julie Cox and her story of meeting a widower, falling in love, getting married and starting a family. Our listeners might remember one of our first episodes with her husband Michael Cox. Michael lost his wife Lindy to brain cancer many years ago. After she passed away, he completed a spiritual and life changing 250 mile hike through Spain. In Season 1 episode 5 he shared his story about grief, transformation and finding love again. This episode focuses on Julie’s story of their courtship and love. This couple is quite remarkable and is an excellent example of what having faith looks like.
