My mum has been a widow for 30 years and I've been fatherless for the same amount of years and we've known nothing but struggles and loneliness. So, where is this place?

Wouldn't widows and orphans just about classify everyone eventually? For the most part, the only ones who do not fit into this group would be children who die.
I think these people go to the same place everyone else goes to when they pass. Eventually to heaven.
I am sorry for your hardships but 30 years has passed, it's time to move on. You're a grown woman. Sometimes you have to pick yourself up and shake off the dust and stop feeling sorry for yourself.

She means that God has a special place in His heart and finds favor on widows and orphans. The Bible states that it is up to the church to take care of widows and orphans.

joyce meyers would probably tell you it's in the new "shelter" she's building and then ask you for a donation.
It might mean a special place in God's heart that we really won't experience until heaven. I don't think there's any special treatment in this life.

Well Poopsy,
I don't think there is a special place for anyone. I don't believe in Gods. We are all creatures of the circumstances we find ourselves in. Just the fairly mindless evolutionary processes of nature. There is no Omnipotent being looking down with a special interest in anyone. We are all thrust into existence and hope that our self awareness and personal circumstances carry us forward in good stead.
There are 7 Billion humans on this planet all striving to better their lot. Gods have nothing to do with any of it ( except in the subjective thoughts of those Billions.)

IT IS BEST,THAT YOU STAY WITH YOUR MOM AND HELP EACH OTHER.JOYCE MEYER IS A FALSE TEACHER,
Warning against false teacher
1Tm:6:1: Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
1Tm:6:2: And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
1Tm:6:3: If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
1Tm:6:4: He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
1Tm:6:5: Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
1Tm:6:6: But godliness with contentment is great gain.
1Tm:6:7: For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
1Tm:6:8: And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
1Tm:6:9: But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
1Tm:6:10: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR MOTHER.

Joyce Meyer is a false teacher. Don't listen to her or read her books. They are all full of it. It's all about positive thinking and prosperity. No true gospel teaching. Just rely on God's word and his promise that He will never leave you or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).

God's heart
james 1: 27
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world"

The basement of the YWCA?
Widows and orphans are people too. Your life is what you make of it.

Maybe she means a "special place in his heart"... not sure...
Joyce Meyer has VERY BAD THEOLOGY... so don't trust everything she says... if you have questions about what she says, compare what she says to what the Bible says... go with what the Bible says.

John.14
[1] "Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me.
[2] In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
I'm sure there is a special room prepared just for your mum and you.
Cheers :-)
