Kate Garraway has just gone back to work after the funeral of her husband, here is my advice to her, as a widow myself.

Tania West lost her husband two years ago. In an open letter to the TV presenter whose husband died two months ago, Tania shares some encouragement in that she has found God to be faithful, even in deepest grief.

Dear Kate

You don’t know me, but we have something in common, in that share we the title of “widow”. I expect you have a deep desire for life to somehow morph into a new normal for you.  My experience is “normal” is over rated and this journey that we did not choose has an intensity about it with many unexpected twists and turns. I’m here to tell you the truth about that journey.
