I have embarked on this adventure of sharing the difficult journey created by 'widowhood'. My life has definitely changed, but that doesn't have to mean everything attached to me is bad. Perhaps, in sharing my perspective on the ups and downs that are attached to this unexpected, disagreeable turn of events, the weight of discontent may lift, not only for me, but for anyone who may be listening as well.
I thank anyone who sees fit to support this effort. I consider that in some ways my sharing and your supporting is a reciprocation of sorts, a pat on the back telling me, "you're gonna make it...", because that is what we each, ultimately need to understand.
We are not alone. We are simply lonely for someone we no longer have walking through this life at our side. Yet, by recognising our plight is not uncommon, that many have navigated and survived this harsh reality, we may discover the light that seems to have remained behind us, is in actuality somewhere on the horizon still ahead.
Let's find it together. Let's take a deep breath and live. We owe it to the spouse who considered us worthy of love. We owe it to our Maker. We owe to one another.
Will we make it? Widow's Might. Because Life Happens.
