Hey Jack - happy for you! I met my husband at 14 & he was 16, married at 18 & 20. He died in October of 2020 at his birthday party. I can’t imagine falling in love with anyone. I’m really happy for people who can! Right now trying to get thru the holidays! I’m having a great experience being a grandma. 😃❤️
Thank you for sharing part of your story. You guys sound a lot like Pam and I. We met in high school and married first year in college. As for the relationship, I wore I would never want to meet anyone else. But apparently God had other plans. Pam will always retain a special place in my heart but I'm grateful there is enough room now for Nicole as well.
I told you Jack that if it was in Gods plan for you to meet and fall in love with another woman it would happen when the time was right and you totally let me have it in a negative way when I was trying to give you faith and hope in Gods plan for your life. But was I right or what!? So glad you got through all those stages of grief and left the bitterness and anger behind you and finally opened your eyes and moved forward! God is such a loving, compassionate God! God Bless You and Nicole.
Hey Jack. So happy for you. Wish you & Nicole all the best. Ignore any negative comments & live your life to fullest. How lovely to have friendship develop into something more. Maybe there's hope for rest of us. Happy Christmas!
Tomorrow 22nd will be 1 year for me. This Thanksgiving and Christmas period are terrible. We will have a remembrance get together tomorrow. Happy for you message! Have a good Christmas!
Thank you for all you do, you helped me during my grief. When God puts the new lady in your life it does shake you up. Enjoy your new life and love. I too have had God place a new lady in my life. These women are super special as they are a gift from God to heal us even more. God bless.
Hi Jack, I lost my wife in January and your videos have been a true life saver for me. I’m so glad you’ve found a way of slowly moving forward from your grief and have found a special somebody. I have to admit that sometimes watching your video’s recently, I thought you may be getting a bit ‘stuck’ in your grief, but we are all different on this journey. This gives me great hope that I’ll be able to move forward and become happy either on my own or with someone else in the future. Good luck to both of you and hold on to this new found path you have found . Please don’t listen to any negative comments.
I went almost 5 years with no joy and was convinced it would never matter and I had no interest in meeting someone else. However, God had other plans and for the first time in a long time I do wake up without deep sadness. For everyone the timeline is different and we simply have to work thru it in our own unique way. I do hope you find some moments of joy in 2024. The only advice I can offer is don't go looking for it. If it's meant to be, it will simply come out of nowhere when you least expect it.
I lost my wife of 31 years in January as well. I’m heart broken, miss her terribly, but I’m so happy for anyone who finds love. God is good, He really is and much much greater in love than we could ever imagine. ❤️
Thanks Jack for sharing all of your experience, with a loss of spouse . I am a recent widower, also lost my wife to cancer. I started to realize now that for an event like this , that is so painful and isolating is actually so common. I never thought about it before, but this is something that every single couple will go thru eventually. There are literally, millions of us on the same journey. I have been just taking one day at a time. I know my wife Vivi is in a better place . I also know God has a plan for me . I just must have the courage to continue on. I have found some inspiration from your videos. Thank you sir.
Bravo and Congratulations to you and Nicole. Like you expressed, your lovely first love Pam can never loose a place in your heart. Glad you are making room for genuine love and friendship with Nicole. Best to you both.
Congratulations, Jack! You've found someone else and I wish you good luck. I've been listening for a bit, and I think you've revealed a lot. Keep going and I'll be listening. Anyway, I've been around the block more times than I can count. When I found my wife whose been deceased for over 2 years, I really found the right girl that fit. I know with certainty that when I see her, again, after my body dies, that I'll be questioned as to my fidelity. The situation I'm in is that she's on vacation, and left me behind. She can deal with circumstances given and make a niche for herself. I'm doing the same. We've had conversations about the fact that she'll leave before me, and it all was settled. I keep busy and before I know it, I'll leave this body and join her in another life. Happy holidays, Jack!
Thank you so much as I know you have been on this journey with me for a while now. As you know, I went almost 5 years with no joy and was convinced it would never matter and I had no interest in meeting someone else. However, God had other plans and for the first time in a long time I do wake up without deep sadness. For everyone the timeline is different and we simply have to work thru it in our own unique way. I do hope you find some moments of joy in 2024. The only advice I now offer is don't go looking for it. If it's meant to be, it will simply come out of nowhere when you least expect it.
My wife passed away 2 1/2 years ago after 40 years of marriage. I am happy for the two of you. But I think my journey will be different than yours. I just can't see myself with anyone else. She was, is, and always be the love of my life and the other side of me. My goal is to cross the finish line and be reunited with Carol forever.
I’m so happy for you! I’m grateful this update showed up in my feed. All I can say is ‘look at God’. His timing is perfect. God bless you and Nicole-wishing you both all the best.
All the best! We do not reflect or display our love for someone we lost by being miserable!!! Our lost love one certainly would not want that for us!!! I believe it is possible to find a new love as we progress through our grief. We then find the new reality that God has for us to live out. 😮
I'm so happy for you. Best wishes and blessings to you and Nicole. I look forward to the stories you both will share in the future. Ignore the naysayers and trolls. This is YOUR story and no one has the right to tell you how to live it. Have a very Merry Christmas!
Uncle jack you deserve all good things in life . New relationship with someone is not shame or considered as betrayal to your late beloved wife aunt Pam . Iam sure she will be happy in heaven when she sees you live your life normally. You spent more than three years alone after she passed away. We wish you good luck in all aspects of your life . Merry Christmas happy new year.
Glad to hear from you, Mr. Church. Think of you as a friend, and that won't change. God bless you and your new journey. Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year, my friend...🙏🏻👍🏼

I hope it doesn't take me 5 years to carry on with my life. I loved my husband for 30 years. Hopefully, I will become a strong woman and love again. I have a hard time meeting people. I was my husband's caretaker for 6 years. I loved him so much and miss him!
That's a great update, I'm glad to hear that! Sounds like you both have a lot to offer each other. Once again, congratulations on the next phase of your new situation 😊.
I truly understand what you are saying, but a year ago I would not have understood as well. I went almost 5 years with no joy and was convinced it would never matter and I had no interest in meeting someone else. However, God had other plans and for the first time in a long time I do wake up without deep sadness. For everyone the timeline is different and we simply have to work thru it in our own unique way.

Just found you and watched the video that you put out regarding Sarasota Tim from 6 months ago. I wonder if you still watch him? I wonder if you have a new opinion about him and his (bad) advice? His advice towards SS is wrong in so many ways for so many. He is horribly misleading and is currently using God to rake in more views. Kind of like Jim and Tammy Fay. Best wishes!
When I asked you lightheartedly if I had detected a twinkle in your eye when you first met Nicole you sent me a very snippy and frankly nasty reply. Do you remember ? I do hope you let Nicole read both my posts and your first reply' I changed my post and mentioned that my first post had a few smileys so it was obviously supportive but you chose the usual holy joe route of being holier than thou and offended. Happy Christmas.
Again, my deepest apologies. Grief is indeed an individual journey and often we react in ways that may not be the best. I do believe the vast majority of my messages have tried to be positive and offered some help and support for others going down this path. I take your comment of me being holier than thou towards you to heart and it hurts because that was never my intent. I pray you will forgive me. The sad part is that the internet and vides never truly show a person's heart, however, I've always tried to be kind and giving but in your case I stumbled...
When you are in the grip of grief you're not expected to be at your best, at all times. You're trying to work through your complex emotions and at times can be a bit self absorbed and snippy. You're only human. We move forward.
@@tadreaming1 Really ? ! and there was me thinking I have been having such a a great time since wife died. By the way, you have no idea what Jack and I are even talking about.
