Reaching Out

When grief hits hard it takes the wind out of you. So how do you get past it? One thing I know for sure-what you do is up to you. Allowing the tears to flow, letting the anger envelop you (for me) seemed to energize – so contradictory but true. A phone call followed by a short walk and visit pulled me up and out of sadness. So little time reaped so much to change my despair. You don’t have to take hours or move mountains to fight back. Small efforts bring big results. January was a tough month, the highs of the holidays, Lee’s 69 Birthday, we carry on.

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. View all posts by plantgirl42
