In October of 2023, I lost my wife of twenty-eight years, Ursula, during a brief hospital stay. And as some of you know, losing a spouse is one of the most painful experiences imaginable. In fact, the Holmes and Rahe Life Stress Inventory (which rates stress levels in life-changing events) states that the death of a spouse is the #1 life-changing event with a stress score of 100.
During this journey, I’ve experienced grief, shock, fear, confusion, lack of sleep, and anger. I also had to painfully accept that the life I knew before her death no longer exists, and now I must prayerfully chart a new path. But in the midst of my pain, at the lowest point of my life, God revealed his purpose (though I wouldn’t have chosen this) and the path I must now walk. This page has been created to share that path. My message for all those who have experienced loss: “Your life is not over, you haven’t been given a death sentence, there’s still life to live, love to give, laughs to share, and people to serve.” “Your purpose still matters.”
Through coaching, speaking, writing, and videos, I desire to share my journey with you so that together we might find life, love, laughter, and the ability to serve others who have lost purpose during their season of loss.
