Are You Widow Strong?

In this episode, I talk about the complexity of the phrase "You are so strong" and the varied emotions it can evoke for Widows navigating the grieving process. Initially, it can feel more like a burden than a compliment, especially in the acute stages of grief.
It's easy to interpret these words as pressure to hide our vulnerability and minimize our pain for the sake of others. However, as time passes, we may come to see this phrase in a more positive light.
It's not about pretending to be strong; it's about recognizing the courage it takes to face each day without our loved ones. Despite the tears shed and the struggles faced, every step forward is a testament to our strength and resilience.
So, while we may not always feel strong, we can acknowledge the bravery it takes to keep moving forward on our widow journey. And one day, we may even see ourselves as strong as others perceive us to be.
As always, Widow Your Way ❤️
