Dianne in Nevada said… The advice I would share that has helped me the most is acceptance. I've accepted that I won't have the life I expected to have at this stage of my life, but I am working towards finding out what good things I can expect to experience. I will always miss my husband. That's a given. But to honor the 41 years we had together, I feel I need to figure this out. Who am I? What do I want to do? What do I enjoy?
So I went to Brave Girl Camp in Idaho this week. I real step outside my comfort zone. Rooming with someone I didn't know; spending 4 days with women I didn't know; working through tough life questions; learning arts/crafts and expressing myself. For me, this was absolutely a life-changing thing. Find what works for you. Moving forward with your life does not mean you are forgetting Mike and the life you had together. You're honoring it.
We'll be back in Myrtle Beach in April for Camp Widow. I attended last year and it was fabulous. Perhaps that would be a good thing for you to do, too (I'm going again!).
