Tuesday, February 25, 2025 - A Nigerian woman, Comfort Kumashe Samba, has shared her journey of faith and restoration after remarrying as a young widow and single mother of one.
In a Facebook post on Monday, February 24, she revealed how God blessed
her with a good man and in-laws who love, respect, and wholeheartedly accepted
her and daughter.
The professional photographer expressed gratitude to God for blessing
her with a beautiful new beginning and turning her ashes into beauty.
She encouraged widows suffering in silence as well as those who desire
to start all over, to stay focused and keep their faith.
"Remarrying as a Widow: My Journey of Faith and Restoration.
Remarrying as a widow is one of the most difficult paths to walk. In the
beginning, I told myself, No, I won’t marry again. I will focus on my daughter.
I will do whatever it takes to make sure she has the best life. I had convinced
myself that I could handle it all alone," she wrote.
But as a young widow, I realized that it is okay to remarry. It is okay
to choose love again. Marriage itself is a journey, but marrying someone who
supports you, who believes in your vision, and who honors the things you
do—now, that is another level of faith. And for that, I am forever grateful to
God.
God didn’t just bless me with a good man; He blessed me with a good
family. If there is one thing I continually pray for, it is the gift of a good
family, and He answered me beyond my imagination. My in-laws don’t just respect
me—they embrace me. They don’t see me as a sister-in-law; they see me as a
sister.
The love they have for my daughter, Esther, is beyond words. She is not
just welcomed—she is theirs, fully, completely. And my father-in-law? I cannot
even begin to describe the blessing he is in my life.
I am a blessed woman. God has helped me. He has created paths for me. He
has taken my ashes and turned them into beauty. There was a time when I thought
life was not worth living. If I had given in to the despair, I would have
regretted it forever. But God sent people to stand by me, to lift me up—people
like Mama Victoria
Egwor Daaor and so many others whose love and support carried me through
I know that many women going through widowhood do not have a safe space
to open up. Some suffer in silence because they feel no one understands. That
is why I created Ashes to Beauty—to let widows know that whatever you desire,
it is possible.
If you pray for a new beginning, God will honor you. If you desire
love again, He will bless you—not just with what you ask for, but with even
more. God listens to widows. He holds them close to His heart. Stay focused.
Keep your faith.Ashes to Beauty is here to remind you that you are not alone.
This is a safe space where you can share, grieve, heal, and rebuild
without judgment. Your story is not over—God is still writing it, and the next
chapter is filled with beauty.
