If I awaken in the middle of the night one o...Yes. If I awaken in the middle of the night one of the first thoughts that comes to me is "I am a widow." Sometimes also when occupied with activity. It is always there--this forced identity. No fun. Never will feel right. Don't like being forced to begin again. But each step moves me further along. To where? <br />Ouch!<br />I LOVED being married! <br />I don't love being a widow.<br />What to do or how--still feeling my way--it's all very raw. But thank you. You help. And that is no small gift!

I'm glad you are able to share ...Oh I love it! I'm glad you are able to share this with us. It makes me feel normal, whatever normal is. I too felt the same way you feel at times. Hitting the 2nd year mark and let me tell you, didn't think the 2nd year would be harder. All I know is that I'm still figuring things out and I'm still finding myself. But with the help you and your blogs, FB and emailing, you have helped me out so much. Thank you again!NALnoreply@blogger.com
