Glamorous right? Here I am still in my nightgown, sweatshirt and slipper boots. Feeling a bit under the weather today, couldn't get it together...my whole body aches...and I'll bet I'm a hilarious sight! I thought it was worthy of sharing, to let the world know what it's like for a grieving widow. Yesterday was a rough day. Just when I feel like the worst of this emptiness is over, someone says something insensitive that sets my world a spin. I'm going to begin writing down all the ridiculous things people say to me...especially those at work! My goodness. The only thing I can do is realize they just have no idea...and I hope they never have to experience it first hand.The one piece of advice I have for anyone who may be helping someone else through this grieving period...is that you need to be positive, you need to be encouraging. The last thing a widow needs is one word of criticism. Every day is a challenge...and you never know when one single negative word...will put a grieving widow over the edge.
Tomorrow is another day; I plan to lean into it...I will start my day in prayer and hope for the best.
