What's it like to be a widow?
Alone. Thankful and lucky for family and friends. Lonely. Missing your husband. Having really good days for a long time. Then you get hit with grief like a ton of bricks. People don't understand. They don't know. Not wanting people to feel sorry for you. Having a day here and there where you feel sorry for yourself and feel guilty as hell. Sad. Trying to always find things that make you happy. Alone. Always wanting to stay busy so your mind doesn't wander. Finally ready to love someone else and there's no one out there to love you back. Not being a wife. Having the worst label attached to your name. Never wanting to explain your story all over again to someone who doesn't know you're a widow. Missing having nothing to do with someone else. Doing everything on your own. Everything. All the time. Always having to ask for help because you can't do everything. Try not to feel guilty that you're doing something for yourself every time y
