I'm Howie. An ordained pastor, grief support teacher and blogger
dedicated to helping widows journey through grief to find happiness again.

Being a pastor is about more than just giving sermons or officiating at weddings. 

One of the most challenging yet meaningful parts of my ministry has been conducting funerals. 

I’ve stood beside many families in the hardest moments of their lives, helping them say goodbye to someone they love. 

And here’s what I’ve seen time and again: months, sometimes years later, people are still deeply adrift in their grief, feeling lost in a storm they don’t know how to navigate.

"Grief is like a language no one teaches you, 
yet somehow, everyone expects you to speak fluently"

Watching people struggle with that inspired me to create a space of real support—a place where people can come for understanding and guidance. 

I wanted it to feel like a lifeboat in those choppy seas of grief and sadness, a safe harbor.

That’s how I ended up starting and leading support groups, using timeless psychological wisdom and Biblical principles to help people navigate the aftermath of loss. 

These groups aren’t just meetings but spaces for sharing, practical healing strategies, and hope. 

For the widows, who make up about 80% of our group, it’s been a transformative experience where they realize they’re not alone.

So, I am blogging, teaching, and building a community that will be a beacon of light to widows and anyone journeying through grief, helping them find comfort and a way forward to happiness again.

"This grief support group saved my life.

I found understanding here, something I thought was impossible.

It's a safe place for me to share what's really on my mind."
