Finding the positive in grief 

I’m out getting groceries and stuff and I don’t have to hurry.  All the rush from years past are over. I move slowly through the aisles trying not to buy too much. Taking time has the benefit of saving money.  That’s a good thing right? Funny all those years of rushing and wishing I could take my time, now I have to much time! Life is like that. Oh, yea and living alone means no one else makes a mess, takes your car keys, eats the left overs you were going to use for tonight’s Taco Salad. Not as much laundry, having your space used to be wishful dreaming now a constant that is no longer appreciated. Who new? Having a tough day- grief has no boundaries.

I lost my best friend in October 2017 at 67 retirement for a year and half. We were married for 41 years together for 44. I very active walk, swim, volunteer for 2 organizations. I have 2 adult children and a a 14 dog a lab. On most days I'm ok but others my grief takes over. Being a widow is lonely and much harder than I ever imagined. I hope that my blog will help others that have been left behind.
