Widows forget to dream, they lose their sense of joy when their loved one is gone.  What you have to learn is that you deserve all the good things in life! Your dreams deserve another try.  It's easy to blame ourselves when things don't work out the first time we try them.  But it's time to shrug off your mistakes, ignore your "flaws", focus on your strengths and never, ever give up. Life of a widow is hard, unbalanced and painful, but give yourself a second chance.  You are unique and extraordinary, so see the beauty in yourself.  Other people already do! You have so much to offer the world.  It's almost second nature to shrug off compliments instead of accepting them.  But you're someone that is loved with many strengths and undeniable beauty. You are in charge of your dreams.  It's true that there are things beyond everyone's control.  But you have the power to dust yourself off and try again.  The power to make great choices and smart moves.  The power to open your heart and mind to all life has to offer. Tap into you inner power and live your dreams - no one is going to do it for you.
