My Story
Faith, Loss, and Finding Strength as a Single Mom
A Letter From My Heart
If you’ve found your way here, I want to start by saying: thank you. This space is more than just a page on a website — it’s a piece of my heart.
I’m Sharon, a mother of two beautiful children — my 11-year-old son and my 5-year-old daughter. I’m also a widow, still learning how to navigate life after my husband’s passing.
Right now, I’m still in the thick of grief. There are mornings I wake up wondering how I’ll get through the day, and nights when the quiet feels heavier than I can bear. But in between those moments, there are small flashes of hope — a child’s laughter, a friend’s unexpected message, a verse from the Bible that speaks exactly to what I’m feeling.
The Day Everything Changed
My husband’s illness was the hardest journey we’ve ever faced as a family. The long hospital stays, the overwhelming bills, and the feeling of being unseen and unheard were crushing. In our most hopeless days, when it seemed no one cared about his condition, God sent people we least expected — not family by blood, but strangers with kind hearts who stepped in to help.
Their generosity made me question the saying, “Is blood really thicker than water?” and reminded me that true compassion knows no boundaries.
When he passed away, the pain left a deep scar — one I will carry for the rest of my life. The memories of those days are heavy, but they’ve shaped the woman I am becoming.
Living Through the Pain
Grief is not something you “get over.” It’s something you carry, learning how to live with it in a way that honors the person you’ve lost. Right now, I’m surviving day by day — keeping routines for my kids, holding on to small moments of joy, and allowing myself to feel the pain when it comes.
Holding on to Faith
Even in the darkest moments, I’ve held on to my faith. I believe that everything happens with a purpose according to God’s will, even if I can’t yet understand why this had to be part of my story. My faith is the light that helps me keep going, reminding me that there is hope beyond this season of sorrow.
Finding My Way Forward
Before my husband passed, I was already working as a web designer and developer. That work is now more than just a job — it’s my way to provide for my family, to create stability, and to channel my energy into something meaningful.
Every project I take on is a small act of rebuilding. It’s proof to myself and to my children that even in the middle of brokenness, beauty and purpose can still emerge.
Story to tell
Why I Share My Story
I share my journey because I know how isolating it can feel to be a single mom, a young widow, or someone trying to rebuild after loss. If you’re walking a similar path, I want you to know: you are not alone.
Through my blog and my work, I hope to inspire others to believe in their own strength, to lean into faith, and to find light even in the darkest moments.
