Fear, Grief, & the Painful Reality of Losing a Spouse - Ivan Didyk

In this episode I sit down for a powerful and emotional conversation with my friend Ivan as he shares the journey of losing his wife Tanya to brain cancer, processing grief, and learning to navigate the new normal.

This broke me. Four small children. Ivan is incredible. I am speechless.

This was so powerful and so educational. I have a friend who lost her dad a few days ago to a heart attack and at the right time I will be sending this to her and I pray that it will minister to her and her family. I’ve already sent it to a few other people that came to mind thank you guys so much for sharing this story. Keep doing what you’re doing! 🤗

I’ve never cried so much while listening to a podcast. It is beautiful to hear of the love he showed his wife in their last years together and the love he experienced from God as a child who lost his father. God is truly in things, even when we can’t see it

We are never the same after loosing a spouse….All we have left are memories… treasure your loved ones… life is so short. Thank you for sharing your story.

May God bless you and keep you, Ivan and your family! Your personal growth in Christ through all your trials is obvious. May Jesus be glorified through your testimony. 💯 agreed with you as Lord led me through similar trials 19 years ago when my husband was diagnosed with an inoperable glioblastoma at 41 and 1,5 years later God took him to eternal glory. Both of my sons grew up and became pastors now. My 7 years old daughter told me the same at the moment of his passing, “Why everyone is crying. Daddy is with Jesus now.” The Lord is good to us all these years as He promised He would never leave us and never forsake us. Be blessed, Ivan! Thank you for sharing your story!

"If you let Him, He'll be your Father." Wow, to trust God to be that physical gap of a missing father/mother for ourselves and for our children. Thank you for sharing on grief, such an important process we experience in any type of loss.

I lost my husband over 1 year ago. I’ve been searching for grief videos to help me get through. This is the best video I’ve seen so far. What a beautiful testimonial. In just 1 hour he has helped me so much and I’m so grateful. What a beautiful humble human being he is. I wish him all the all the best and may God bless him and his children ❤❤❤
