I don't have to let my life be defined by being his 'widow'. <br /><br />I rather believe that we ARE honoring his memory by being so full of life, happier for having known him. <br /><br />This isn't an attitude easily or lightly reached, and it certainly isn't saying we loved our husbands less.GowitheFlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842273685414939160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1511512682838809760.post-7029597169007547382013-01-18T11:12:18.731-05:002013-01-18T11:12:18.731-05:00I really liked this post--that's what I have d...I really liked this post--that's what I have done. I don't need his stuff around to remind me of him--all the memories are on the video in my brain AND it feels better--at least to me--to have it be MY house again. I don't need his big recliner taking up space in my living room--I want a more airy feeling. My daughter took his chair, loves having a recliner. I don't need two recliners, so....<br /><br />anyway--you know what I am talking about. Part of moving on. I think some women stay stuck in their grief--daily--because they think they HAVE too? It is now their life's purpose? I had 7 of the most wonderful years of my life with Fred, but I don't want my life defined by being his "widow". So--onward and upward!!! Ever forward!! for however long I have.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.com
