Speech (5 min.): W19.06 23-24 pars. 13-16. Title: How can we support those who have become widowed? (lec. 20).

The loss of a loved one is one of the greatest pains we can feel, but now imagine losing the person who has been your company and personal support for many years, to understand the pain of losing a spouse think of the following illustration, Over the years , their roots intertwine. If one of them is pulled out and dies, the other can be seriously damaged.

Likewise, the death of one spouse can cause the other spouse to feel very intense for a long time, they feel as if a part of themselves has been ripped off. That's why when a brother or sister in the congregation loses a spouse, they need our support. That's why we'll answer the question: How can we comfort someone who has become a widower?

One of the first things we can do is talk to this person, it might make us uncomfortable doing this or we might also be afraid to say something that might be inappropriate, but not saying anything could be worse, for example, we might say we feel a lot, we can talk about the beautiful memories, remember how much we loved and valued that person, to cheer him up we can pray with his widowed wife and read one or two biblical texts that talk about comfort and resurrection, without a doubt, the good words they will be like a healing balm for your wounded heart.

Something we can also do for those who have become widowed is to support them and help them with some tasks that we can do for them, remember that they were used to doing a lot of activities with their spouse, but not having them by their side anymore it can be difficult for them to do some things or even They suffer every time they do something they did with the deceased, so it's important to give them our support because their grief process can take months, even years, so let's remember that our help can be a great relief to the widowed Christian.

Finally, my brothers, let us remember that Jehovah gives us the honor and responsibility to care for those who are widowed, if we apply the counsel we have discussed about talking encouraging things with them and giving them our hand when they need it, we will be fulfilling the who sends us in Santiago 1:27 (read text), so let us continue to take care of our widowed brothers in their difficulties.
