After Dave lost his wife, he started getting signs that she was still looking out for him and his son.
About It's Going to Be OK
If you have anxiety, depression or any sense of the world around you, you know that not *everything* is going to be okay. In fact, many things aren’t okay and never will be!
But instead of falling into the pit of despair, we’re bringing you a little OK for your day. Every weekday, we’ll bring you one okay thing to help you start, end or endure your day with the opposite of a doom scroll.

Dave: Good morning, this is Dave. It’s going to be okay. I lost my wife of 38 years, November 28th, 2022.
I know it’s going to be okay because the week after she passed,
I was laying in bed. Got up, went to the bathroom, didn’t turn the light on in the bathroom. Soon as I got back into bed, one of the six bulbs in the bathroom lit up. I figured, okay, if I didn’t have the switch all the way down, got up and checked. It was down, but the light was on. I got to thinking, Okay, hon, I’ll be okay.
So it’s gonna be okay. The loved ones will check on us. I told my son about it. He didn’t freak out. He said, okay. Night before, he was doing some cooking in the kitchen. And he happened to look up, he noticed a white orb floating from the bathroom to the office.
He said, Mom. So he ran downstairs and told Mom, we’d watch out for Dad.
The next day, after we talked about this, we went and looked. There would have been no way. A car, lights, headlights would have done this.
So thank you. I so much appreciate this. I enjoy listening to your podcasts. I’m reading No Happy Endings. So thank you, Nora, and your gang.
