Summary

Summaryβ€œI never imagined the day I’d bury my best friend and husband of 38 years. Joel’s early-onset Alzheimer’s took him piece by pieceβ€”first his memory, then his ability to feed himselfβ€”and I felt helpless watching the man who had been my rock slip away. 😒 Every moment of caregiving was both honor and heartbreak. Joel always pointed me back to Jesus, reminding me that even in this valley, God’s presence is enough. When he asked me to repeat our vowsβ€”β€˜to love and cherish in sickness and in health’—I realized Jesus truly had to be my main man now. πŸ™ Day by day, I learned to lean on His strength, replacing my sorrow with hope. I share my journey so other widows know they aren’t aloneβ€”God is sufficient, and He will carry you through grief. πŸ’ͺβœ¨β€

Losing her best friend of 38 years was a long road of a series of goodbyes. Joel was Marlys’ rock and now that roll is shifting. What do we do when what we desperately love gets stripped away?
