In Part 2 of this candid and powerful conversation, Rachael Flick opens up about the devastating loss of her husband, Micah, and the profound grief that followed. As she navigated the aftermath of his death, Rachael turned to her faith, powerful scripture, and practical tools to help her move through the dark season of grief and uncertainty.
Rachael reflects on a moment in 2018 that left her feeling as though her hope and future died with Micah when he was tragically shot while performing a job he’d done for over ten years. Her vulnerability and honesty in sharing this deeply painful moment show the raw emotions of grief, yet also highlight the way God's grace was present, even in the hardest of times.
“And in 2018, February 5th, any given Monday, Micah was doing a job that he had been doing for ten years, and he was shot in the chest. And it really felt like my hope and my future died with him.
When the enemy comes for the restoration, that will bring you to your knees. And I really felt like the Lord had abandoned me.”
