In this deeply personal and emotional episode of Balance and Breakthroughs, Wil sits down with special guest Tara Tan to explore her profound journey through love, loss, faith, and healing. Tara shares the powerful story of how she met her late husband, Craig—an unexpected love that entered her life after heartbreak and at a time when she had completely stopped looking.
Tara describes Craig’s gentle persistence, his integrity, and the faith-centered connection that drew them together. Their relationship blossomed through shared spirituality, sincerity, and mutual respect. She recounts how Craig consistently made her feel safe, valued, and cherished—treating her as his wife long before their wedding day.
The episode takes a heartbreaking turn as Tara opens up about the tragic loss of Craig’s son only two months after their marriage, and how the overwhelming grief eventually claimed Craig’s own life less than a year later. She shares the painful reality of “broken heart syndrome,” and reflects on navigating widowhood, honoring her husband’s memory, and rediscovering herself through faith.
Tara also speaks candidly about reentering the dating world, the challenges of modern relationships, and her unwavering belief that love must be rooted in God, honesty, and emotional safety. She discusses the importance of healing, knowing one’s worth, and maintaining the high standards set by the genuine love she once shared with Craig.
The episode closes with a heartfelt prayer over Tara, her journey forward, and everyone seeking healthy, God-centered love.
