Join My Journey: From Out of Deep Waters to After the Ashes

July 11, 2026 by Leah Stirewalt Leave a Comment

Hi there! Remember me? It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I just wanted to give a very brief update on what’s happening with Out of Deep Waters and where you can find me now.

As far as this website/blog goes, it’s not disappearing from the internet. I know people are still pointed to it when they have a loved one they feel can benefit from some of these older posts. For that reason alone, I have no desire to take it down. However, I’m at a different place in my life now that this website doesn’t quite fit.

My goal is to eventually update it or do a complete overhaul on it that lines up with this new season of my life. I’m just not quite there yet.

In the meantime, after a very long hiatus, I feel the Lord has given me a new song to sing — or write, in my case. I would love to have you join me over on Substack as I share about rebuilding my life on After the Ashes. I love the Substack platform and have enjoyed reading and engaging with the work of my fellow writers.

Thanks for being here with me in this space, some of you since the very beginning. It is an honor I don’t take for granted.

I hope to see you over at After the Ashes soon!

Meet Leah

Leah StirewaltI became "twice widowed" when my beloved prince, Joel, went to his Heavenly home after a brief and sudden illness on February 12, 2017. I’m in a place of shock and devastation, but I intend to use this format to journal my second widow journey, much like I did my first. It’s my open journal, my electronic oasis, and it’s often the place I find true healing as I allow myself to “come clean” with my feelings. Read More...
