I don't know all the answers about this widow's journey, but I know YOU WILL MAKE IT.
Here are five things I learned, and I hope you will too.
I can do hard things, but I don't have to.
I wanted a husband, but I don't need one.
You can grieve and still be happy.
You cannot run from grief.
Being vulnerable is strength.
Grief has no timeline, and you can grieve on your terms. I am sure I will learn much more as I continue this journey. Give yourself grace as you navigate this unfamiliar space.
What has widowhood taught you?
Widowhood has taught me the following: brain fog is real, do not take on things you don’t want to do, hugging can be a trigger, feeling conflicted is a constant for quite a while, tap into creativity, I’m different and that’s okay, exercise is therapeutic, I walked miles and miles the first 2 years, my four walls took on a whole new feeling especially my bedroom- I learned to create a new cozy space to lay my head. I’m so glad to have found you, I enjoy your podcast.
