She came for coffee and left with a prayer.

A Facebook post is going viral after a woman in line at a Dutch Bros. Coffee drive-thru in Washington stopped in for a caffeine pick-me-up but got something much more powerful.

"Snapped this picture while waiting in line at the Dutch Bros on 138th Avenue today," Barbara Danner wrote.

"Turns out the young lady in line ahead of us lost her 37-year-old husband last night.

"When the DB guys & gals noticed she was falling apart, they stopped everything and prayed with her for several minutes, invited her to come back for prayer and support, as well as anything else that she might need."

Evan Freeman was one of the baristas who waited on the grieving widow.

"She's like, 'She's just having a really bad day. Her husband passed.' And as soon as she said that, I was like, 'There's nothing more you need to say. We got this. We're going to do what we do every time we get someone who's in pain or hurt. We're going to give them our love,'" he told KPTV.

Dutch Bros. has the nicest people. I stop there to get my caffeine fix every so often. I love their coffee.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding.  She lost her husband the previous night, and she's in line for coffee the next day? She shouldn't even be driving.  But whatever the story, it's wonderful when people reach out to others in need.

When I lost a loved one a few years ago, the last place I wanted to be was home.  It was too quiet and there were funeral arrangements to be made.  Lovely to see human beings showing compassion for one another when someone desperately needs it.  The world could use more kindness.

Heartwarming story! Thanks for sharing . . .

She should not be judged for being in the coffee drive thru line. Maybe she was on her way to the funeral home or church. Maybe she was just lost in her grief. I went into the office the day after my DH passed so I could do payroll for our employees. He would have supported that. Grief is very personal, let her be.

Maybe she had to make funeral arrangements? Just my guess......
