Often for both sexes their job is the major thing that gives them a sense of worth. when the job is finished some people feel there is nothing to live for. For many women they have spent their life working for their family and finding their worth in their husband and children. The children grow up and no longer need their parents. Often it is the husband who dies first. The wife is then left wondering what role she has any more. She has spent so much time caring for others and putting them at the centre that she doesn't know how to value herself and do things because she has a worth. She can spiral down into depression.
As Christians we often forget to put God at the centre of our lives and always that leads to trouble, but we so easily get it wrong. Having said that we still need to know our own worth. If we are trusting in Jesus we need to remind ourselves that he thought we were so important that He died on the cross for us. You can't have a higher value than that.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
