#widowedliving

Here 👇🏻 There are people in society that are uncomfortable with how young widows live their lives and conduct themselves after the loss of their husbands. Many of us aren't shutting ourselves out from the world. We are going to activities and functions with our children, friends, and family. We are taking vacations. We are making big transitions and taking leaps of faith. We are dating and falling in love again. We are smiling, laughing and living. We are grieving too, but often the grief isn't visible and therefore many can believe we are being disrespectful or "over it." The truth is that the picture of young widowhood doesn't fit with what many are comfortable with or used to. Young widows are often in the prime of life when our spouses die. We are often at the pinnacle of our careers, our marriages, and parenthood when it all comes crashing down on us. We want to feel beautiful and desired. We want to find purpose from our loss and in our lives. We literally have so much life left to live. Although we find ourselves in deep grief, we feel a pull to live more fully because that is what death teaches us to do. Society wants us to look and act more like we are in mourning and our grief and our relationship with death forces us to seek out feeling alive. And in that gap between societal expectation and the true reality of loss as a young woman is where the dissonance occurs and where much of the judgment and criticisms come from.
