It’s only been about 12 hours as I sit down to write this post and share heartbreaking news with our followers. Chris Taylor’s husband of 32 years passed away on November 24, 2023.
Her husband, nicknamed “Big Guy” on her blogs (Forgiven Wife, Honeycomb & Spice), had multiple health issues that converged after a major-but-usually-safe surgery and resulted in cardiac arrest. He is survived not only by his wife but three grown children and a grandchild.
Chris Taylor is obviously stepping away as she grieves and addresses various tasks. I will be finishing out our pre-planned season with three guest hosts, after which we’d planned a break anyway. As for what’s after that, we will keep you apprised.
In the meantime, if you want to help, the Christian Marriage Bloggers Association has established a Go Fund Me for Chris. Since her husband’s death was unexpected, and he had not been able to work for a while, she could use financial assistance.
If you want to share a message for her, feel free to comment here. I will gather up the condolences and present them to her when the time is right.

Thanks for all of your support—for our ministry and for Chris Taylor in this trying time.
For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.

Chris – so sorry to hear of your loss. You and your blog have been so important thru the years. May God somehow give you strength and comfort thru all this pain.
