A Widow Pep Talk

13 mths in. Every day is a battle, today am proud that I was alone for the first time in my life on New Year’s Eve and I survived ❤💔 sending love to everyone ❤

What helps me is staying busy and having projects. I restore and build hot rod cars and trucks as a hobby and always have a project going on. My garage is always lit up and rock n rollin till way after dark after work. This was my first Christmas after my Wife passed and I did so much better than I thought I would. I’m building a truck for my 16 year old Grandson but he doesn’t know it’s his yet but I took him out in it the other day and taught him how to drive a stick shift. He really loved it. I can’t wait to paint it and fix the interior up before I hand him the keys.

I felt like you were directly talking to me Karen! This is exactly what I needed to hear today! I’m 18 months in my grief journey, and miss the person who understood me and was my anchor in life. Thank you so much!
