thoughts on this unwanted stage of life ...and yet being surprised by joy
the widow
My husband passed away February 2019. This is my story and his story from my point of view… because his is lost. I am in a dark place, but occasionally a morbid sense of humor will break through and make me think I can make it.
Fast forward to 2022 – I am still walking through grief, but I have been surprised by joy! My story has many parts to it, and if you are in any type of grief, so will yours. Maybe a little light reading here will help, or at least distract or entertain.
when words won’t come
Some days, the pain is palpable, and the ability to communicate in any form becomes lost to me. On those days, I look for other things to fill my mind. I try to fill my thoughts with the good and familiar, trying to silence the grief and fear. What do you do? Where are my safe options? Please don’t judge anyone who has been in this position. No matter what you think, you have not experienced the same thing. NO ONE EXPERIENCE IS LIKE ANY OTHER. We may be similar, but we are all different. Love us, listen to us. That is all.
