Dolly Parton Opens Up About the Loss of Her Husband, Carl Dean

Dolly Parton opened up about the loss of her husband, Carl Dean. The entertainment legend remembered her beloved husband in an interview on The Today Show, talking about what he meant to her and how she’s coping with the loss. Watch the short but moving clip as Dolly talks about life since losing her husband.

Unfortunately, in life, we will all experience painful and agonizing situations. Pain, hurt and heartache are unavoidable. They are, sadly, facts of life, and there will be circumstances that will undoubtedly result in unexplainable sorrow and grief. Living on Earth without going through a fair share of agonizing and devastating experiences is impossible.

Easily and without question, one of the most sorrowful and grief-stricken experiences is losing a spouse. When that happens, it can often feel like losing a part of yourself. There is arguably no closer relationship on Earth than that between spouses, and whenever that connection is broken with one of them passing away, it is often absolutely devastating. Doing life without this person can feel next to impossible, a monumental and nearly impossible task.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Dolly talked about the passing of her husband, Carl Dean. She understandably gets choked up talking about the loss and how deeply his death has impacted her. The two were married for nearly 60 years.

“I’ve loved him since I was 18 years old,” she said. “And, it’s a big adjustment. Just trying to change patterns and habits, and I’ll do fine. And I’m involved in my work, and that’s been the best thing that could happen to me. But I’ll always miss him, of course, and always love him.”

Following her husband's passing, Dolly said many people reached out to her. She received a ton of cards, letters and flowers from people all over the world.

Losing a loved one, especially a spouse, is always painful, and our prayers are with Dolly and her family.

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

Woman Shares the One and Only Way Humans Can Please God

A woman shared the one and only way humans can please God. Her powerful words and message show how fallen humans are and God’s immense and unending love for us. Watch the short but moving clip to hear the only thing people can do to make God happy and please him.

The world is a fallen and broken place, full of hurting and struggling people. No one would have a chance without Christ’s love, mercy, grace and forgiveness. We would all be destined for an eternity, lost and separated from Him, where there would be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a woman beautifully and powerfully explains the one thing we can do to please God. And because of our fallen nature, it’s not what we do but what Jesus Christ can and does for us.

“Like, I’ve met people who feel like, ‘Oh, my past is too crazy. I’m not good enough. I don’t know how Jesus can use me; how Jesus can love me,’” she said. “And the reality is none of us are, you know, in our own strength, in our own ability – none of us are good enough.”

Later in the clip, she mentions the Holy Spirit descending upon Jesus, what God said about His Son and how that relates to us today.

“And the Father said, ‘This is my Son in whom I am well pleased,’” she said. “Now, that moment was not just a random thing. It was that God the Father was revealing to humanity: the only way you can please me is in Him. This is the One who pleases me, and you cannot please me outside of Him.”

God sent His only Son and completely changed everything. Christ willingly went to the cross, suffered and died on our behalf. In doing so, He completely and forever won victory over sin, shame and death. We can be forgiven and experience eternal life because He was forsaken and broken for you and me.

Matthew 17:5 “While he was still talking, a bright cloud came over them: and a voice out of the cloud, saying, ‘This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased; give ear to him.”

Woman Shares Her Journey to Complain Less and Trust God More

One woman shared her journey of trying to complain less and trust God more. She mentioned that she has made a concerted effort to stop grumbling and whining about situations and circumstances and instead focus more on God’s plan. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear what the young woman had to say.

Everyone whines and complains at one point or another. It’s human nature to voice complaints whenever something is not going our way. We all want to go through life without any pain, struggles or worries, but unfortunately, that is not possible. That is a fact of life.

Situations will arise in life that we don’t like or appreciate, and they might even result in pain and discomfort. Often, circumstances are totally out of our control, and we just have to grin and bear it. But what would happen if we put more trust and faith in God instead of the default human response of grumbling and complaining?

In a clip posted on YouTube, one woman explained that she has really tried hard to do just that. She even mentions a specific instance where she reached out to Jesus Christ and said she was through with complaining. Instead, she was going to trust and rely upon Him and His plan.

“But I don’t want to look back on this season, and be, like, ‘I complained my whole way through this,’” she said. “Don’t want to do that. And so, I’ve been really intentional about being present. This is what God has me in.”

Later in the clip, she mentions the Israelites and their wandering in the desert for 40 years.

“And I do not want to end up like the Israelites,” she said. “Because I’m telling you right now what should have taken them 11 days took them 40 years. And sometimes, when we keep complaining, and we have that lack of faith, we stay stuck, and we’re prolonging what God has for us.”
