Are You Hurting?   Go ahead, acknowledge when you’re hurting.  It’s natural, expected and even healthy to feel your grief so that your broken heart will eventually heal.

Can I help you? 

Well, I can at least share with you (through my blog) some of the stories from widows who have suffered the same loss as you have.  The growth that takes place when you share your stories is remarkable.   There is a healing process – a learning of who you are as a person and not as a couple.

Can others help you?

Yes, especially other widows because they understand your broken heart. You may have to go online to find widows for support and encouragement. Are you interested in a private Facebook group that has NO men and NO business, a group for widows only? If so go to the search bar in Facebook and type in “The Sisterhood of Widows - Private Group for Widows”. When it comes up click on “Join” and fill out the request. This private group has rules that are strictly enforced so please read over them carefully.

Can you heal your broken heart?

Well, you can use your pain to motivation yourself to find your new path .  It’s not easy and it takes a lot of hard work, but you can do it.  After all,  your life is worth rebuilding.  It is a difficult journey but I know you have the strength and stamina to make it.

Start by reaching out to others that understand your journey, keep a journal, read about widows that have travelled your path and make an effort to get out of the house and do something positive – just for you.  

Treasure your memories: both the ones in the past and the ones in your future.
