Ep. 3 | Chris Hilken | Pastor shares what he learned about grief, loss of his wife, and ministry. 

My husband took his life, and I was blessed with a church that truly supportive. The people who I thought would be there could not handle my grief, but God was faithful to bring many who were there for me. So sorry for your loss.

I got the honor of listening to Chris this past Sunday. Me and my wife loved your message and it really rocked us. I wanted to find more teaching from Chris and hearing this breaks my heart but makes me think about my dad. I lost my dad last year and as the only boy in my family I felt so lost. My parents knew my dad was dying but didn't tell me and my sister cause they were believing for his healing. As they pulled the plug, I cried out to God I will trust you. Thank you for sharing your story!

I’m praying for you as your kids Chris! I was apart of yours and Paige’s north coast family! I knew Paige from the nursery with the kids and she was the most beautiful amazing women of God you’ll see her again one day❤

Thank you for your raw honesty, Chris. Your story / Paige's story will continue to point people to Jesus for decades. My son was in the Marine Corps, stationed at Camp Pendleton, and our family had the great honor of "getting to know you" when you pastored at North Coast. Through that connection, we have had the privilege of praying for you and your babies. You are a light in dark times. Keep shining.

God bless you Chris. My heart goes out to you and your babies. ❤

You might not remember me, but I met you and your wife in the Indio Church Camp while in 11-12. I still remember that Office trivia night like it was yesterday. I wish you and your family well. May she rest in peace.

My heart feels deeply for the loss, the struggle and immense change your lives were forced to endure while at the same time, even more for the unimiaginable pain at which Paige felt in finding no other way for herself. I first learned of your story at the time it took place, yet not until tonight was able to have a glimpse of who you, and Paige were. I feel as if this story is going to change many lives, for from your descripton Paige was no ordinary young woman, she was extraordinary. And you Chris are certainly articulate, incredibly fluent with your words in sharing such a personal story. Your brightness in Faith, will lead others to see and feel the love you have. May God Bless you, your children, and all family members who lost Paige. You too, are extraordinary, I can see why God put you two together. God Bless You.

I had no idea you were left alone for the first two months. I’m so hurt because I was informed you had family 24/7. I’m so sorry.

I’m so sorry Mr. Chris. Praying for you and yours. Rest in Him everyday my friend, everyday. Thank you for talking about mental health Pastor Jeremy, much needed.

Thank you so much for sharing your heart….for the wisdom and insight …but most of all just raw honesty. I had the privilege of hearing you speak for a couple years at North Coast, and still to this day, some of your sermons, were the most memorable and engrained in my mind forever. You definitely have a gift for speaking and I will be praying for the Lord to keep revealing to you, in what capacity for the future. Continued prayers for you and your family, as He carries you all thru this in your life. May you feel God’s peace and love today and always 💛

Thank you for sharing your story. My daughter went to Concordia while you were there.

My goodness! I have heard you speak about this at the church I attend in Chandler Az but I had no idea what you all went through. I have been praying for you and your family for many months and I will certainly continue to pray!

So much raw honesty!

First. And Kansas City Skyline in the HOUSE!!!!!!!!

Oh Dearest Paige....You suffered with medication - induced Akathisia. Lord, I pray that Chris sees this. I am a survivor of medication induced Akathisia. I lived, while thousands of people are dying. Please, please, PLEASE, research your meds. 😢

Sharp Mesa Vista** is the name of the hospital in San Diego that he's referring to, not "Sharp Mesa Verde." It's also kind of weird that Chris claims Paige was diagnosed with PTSD and postpartum depression prior to her death, yet none of the symptoms or behaviors he claims she was displaying align with either of those. I personally suffer from PTSD and I've been around many people with PPD and it's nothing like that he's describing. You also can't develop PTSD from a lack of sleep. A lack of sleep may cause psychosis, i.e. hallucinations/disconnect from reality, but not PTSD. That's not how trauma works. PTSD also doesn't get diagnosed that quickly, nor is it caused by something like a blood clot. Something isn't adding up here.

Sheer Dumb Luck?🤔

First 10 minutes are a waste of time

The facility in Tucson needs to answer for this..
