Finding Hope Amidst Life’s Tragedies (Interview With Army Widow Wesley Bauguess)

When Wesley Bauguess talks about grieving, people listen. Ten years ago, her husband, Army Major Larry Bauguess, was shot and killed while acting as a human shield, protecting his unit during an ambush on what was supposed to be a peace-keeping mission in Pakistan.

Suddenly, Bauguess was a widow left to care for two young daughters.

Bauguess is this week’s guest on Words of Wisdom and the author of the new book, “God, County, Golf: Reflections of an Army Widow.” (Published by Westbow Press, a division of Thomas Nelson.)

Bauguess tells us:

• Why she chose to revisit the tragedy, first by writing a book and then by doing interviews.
• What people should (and shouldn’t) say to someone who is grieving.
• How her Christian faith gave her strength to face the future.
