The Buck Stops Here
Archive notice: This is a historical post from Mary’s years of blogging. Some older posts may mention products, courses or shop items that are no longer available, as Mary now focuses her time and energy on supporting widows inside her private Facebook community. The guidance and stories remain here as a free resource for widows.
For current ways to connect with Mary’s work, you can:
- Read her book on Amazon .
- Request to join her private Facebook group for widows .
There are no gender divisions in the life of a widow. You are not completely a wife and/ or one of the bread winners. As a widow “You” are absolutely everything.
You can't say 'you do the yard work’ and ' I'll be in charge of keeping the house clean.' Or 'you work to cover the bills' and 'I'll work for the extras we want’. You do it all.
You feed the kids, you care for them when they are ill, you do all the shopping, you keep the car running, you pay the mortgage, you pay all the taxes and insurances, you do the yard work...you, you, you.
On top of everything else "You" have to make all the life changing decisions on your own, so when you think about it - you are pretty amazing.
