I have a Biblical question as it relates to widows.
Since my husband died I have been trying to know what I should do with my life. First off, are there any other widow/widowers who post on the Puritan Board?
I need feedback. Everything I read says don't make any hasty moves for a year. Yet, I know I need to be closer to a OPC fellowship and the nearest one is down south of me 40+ miles (Chalcedon). I have been considering contacting them to ask for prayer on this.
My 'problem' which I know God can deal with is, my husband had been on Social Security disability since being left disabled by a drunk driver in '89 just before Christmas. And I became his willing and happy caregiver from then on. Alas, the drunk driver had no insurance so our financial situation became dire. We did win a hefty settlement in court and I have finally sought legal help in seeing if 15 years later the man and his wife have any assets I can tap into. I am not greedy, simply in need of some sound financial footing.
I haven't worked outside the home since before marriage since Ron and I agreed that making a home and being frugal was what we both wanted. Thus I have no marketable skills per se, and with Lupus and the past two operations and one coming up, I wont be work mode for months as it is. I am 58.
So any counsel or prayers anyone cares to offer me I thank you in advance. You may also e-mail me off list if you prefer.
