S3 E21 Ten Things Every Widow Should Know 🌻

Ойын-сауық

Widowhood has taught me so much about grief, loss and life, things I didn't know when I first came into this chaotic world and things I wish I had known.
I'm sharing these learnings with you so hopefully you can feel less like you're going mad and more like what you are feeling is normal in the world of grief.

    Thank you so much, when we lose our loved ones we are completely clueless how to handle this all of these emotions and it is a blessing to have channels like this where we can learn how to cope and to continue moving forward because it is all we can do. Blessing to all of us who have lost a loved ones and may all of our hearts continue to heal. There is always light at the end of the tunnel and the sun will always come out after the storm.

    Thank you: that was so helpful for me. ‘Your person’s life has ended, but Yours has not…’ It is very hard to go forward, but there is hope.

    53 , and dealing with the loss of my bride after a 36 year relationship. Very hard but Ive accepted this is my new reality. Its very tough and I have my strong and confident moments and also my weak and vulnerable moments. Goals are to keep my body fit like a 20 hear old Marjne and living within my means. Im hoping a gorgeous woman like The host of this video will come into my life. In the meantime Ill be keeping busy and making good decisions. Ive tried to let certain people in but to the contrary they don’t want to be bothered….its true.

    Thankyou ,I'm only a month and a half in to losing my husband after 46 years.What I'm finding hard it having to take on the responsibilities of the household.I can pay the bills it's the outside stuff like snow removal, looking after the car ,getting it inspected things like that.I never had to do that stuff .I was 19 when I got married.Its just not having that someone to lean on.I was so happy when he got admitted to the hospital.I was sure they were going to fix hin up and he would come home.I never thought he wouldn.t come home again.Seeing him the last few days of his life were really hard as he was drugged up on morphine .He couldn.t talk to tell me he loved me although I knew he did .I just wanted to hear it one more time.His eyes were open but I don.t think he knew I was there.I sang to him and rubbed his head and face.And in a flash he was gone.You never really think that day will come .It is painful and difficult. I do find crying help .s to get it out.Its like your in slow motion ,you eat but never really taste it.Or you forget to eat .Sorry for the long winded post.Its good to get it out.

    Loss my wife of 13 yrs to cervix cancer thinking it was only menopause was only 50, 8 1 23 the insomnia is still bad n never had a problem sleeping ... your in slow motion ,you eat but never really taste it.Or you forget to eat ... I agree, I lost 20 lbs from 165 to 145 but yes i knew her from 30 yrs ago for 3 yrs separated 17 got married for 12 n she left me for the 9th time for good n gave her my # n got back together in 2010 - but yeah 46 yrs is a long time, at 13 yrs plus, you become part of them n they are part of you...then find yourself alone is so infeasible.. hope us both healing

    I still need to keep hearing this 10 point reminder. I am almost to year two and the hurt and pain are still palpable. I see a doctor today (literally) that hopefully will help me more with the crisis and trauma counseling. I need more help because of the circumstances of my husband's death. Karen has been an invaluable help. I just know my struggle needs more attention so I have to go there first. Many thanks Karen for all you do for us. ❤️
