A Letter To A Grieving Widow

Good evening. Thursday blog. This is a letter tonight. That I would like to share. I understand you are recently widowed! I am so very sorry. Thoughts and Prayers for you and your family. My deepest of sympathies. How are you, really? Negative feelings and actions you know are not the way to handle things. Especially the pain of losing a husband. One who was the beacon of light to his family. You do know self care is important right? You purposely have to put forth yourself for yourself! Family members hearts are really ripped away, I know that’s how yours must be feeling! Your not taking anything personally. I don’t think you have. Your children are hurting in a whole different way! You need to be looking to take all you can from various groups and apply to your life! Life does go on. It’s just a different form! You can’t go back to where you were before marriage! This new journey for yourself, is a whole new area of life. Crying is like an ebb and tide, back and forth. No timing, sometimes it knocks you down. Get up, dry yourself off, look in the mirror, be your own coach. You know what to say to yourself. You took care of the care giver, you, so take care of the widow, you! You know how to do it! You sat and invested time into rising above! You are a mature person now, be an example for others that don’t quite know what to do yet! I know the pandemic did not help! You like to say different days, well they have been different. Are you still journaling, blogging? Make sure you stay on top of all of those things! Writing has helped you put feelings on paper. You still have all of your crafts and hobbies. You have a lot of go to’s. That’s a good thing. It’s great that you still walk. I am happy to hear that you are taking care of you. You are important, your family wants you around! Just remember if you allow low moments, take care of it quickly! I think you are moving forward pretty good! You are heading in the right direction. Remember God and all He has done for you during one of the roughest times in your life! God is good all the time! You know that! Good night. God bless.❤️🤗🙏🏻🤗❤️To Marilyn,From Marilyn, Thank you!
