Beyond the Tears
S1 E1 A widow's first year
A woman who lost her husband talks about the first year without him: the empty side of the bed, the forms and phone calls, the friends who stopped visiting and the ones who kept coming. We open the Bible together at 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 and ask what it means that God is the God of all comfort. The opening episode of Beyond the Tears, recorded in our studio with a widow who has walked through grief.
