In this episode, I talk about the complexity of the phrase "You are so strong" and the varied emotions it can evoke for Widows navigating the grieving process. Initially, it can feel more like a burden than a compliment, especially in the acute stages of grief.

It's easy to interpret these words as pressure to hide our vulnerability and minimize our pain for the sake of others. However, as time passes, we may come to see this phrase in a more positive light.

It's not about pretending to be strong; it's about recognizing the courage it takes to face each day without our loved ones. Despite the tears shed and the struggles faced, every step forward is a testament to our strength and resilience.

So, while we may not always feel strong, we can acknowledge the bravery it takes to keep moving forward on our widow journey. And one day, we may even see ourselves as strong as others perceive us to be.

As always, Widow Your Way ❤️

Have you ever felt like the weight of grief could define your entire existence?

In this episode, I'm here to shake things up and challenge the traditional narrative of widowhood. It's time to reclaim the journey as our own and recognize that being a widow doesn't solely revolve around our deceased husbands. Yes, we honor their memory, but we also have a life to live.

Widowhood is a chapter, not the entire book of your life and being a widow doesn't define us; it propels us forward into the next chapter of our lives. We must remember that our happiness matters too, and our late husbands would want us to find joy and purpose. It's about shifting our perspective on grief and embracing the opportunities for growth and fulfillment.

So, let's not just survive but thrive and truly live with intention as you Widow Your Way ❤️
