*AMAZING DESCRIPTION OF WIDOWHOOD*

*“Widowhood* is more than missing your spouse’s presence. It is adjusting to an alternate life. It is growing around a permanent amputation.

*Widowhood* is going to bed for the thousandth time, and still, the loneliness doesn’t feel normal. *The empty bed a constant reminder.* The night no longer brings intimacy and comfort, but the loudness of silence and the void of connection.

*Widowhood* is walking around the same house you have lived in for years and it no longer feeling like home. Because *“home”* incorporated a person. And they’re not there. Homesickness fills your heart and the knowledge that it will never return haunts you.

*Widowhood* is seeing all your dreams and plans you shared as a couple crumble around you. The painful process of searching for new dreams that include only you amount to climbing Mount Everest. And every small victory of creating new dreams for yourself includes a new shade of grief that their death propelled you to this path.

*Widowhood* is second guessing everything you thought you knew about yourself. Your life had molded together with another’s and without them you have to relearn all your likes, hobbies, fears, goals. The renaissance of a new person makes you proud and heartbroken simultaneously.

*Widowhood* is being a stranger in your own life. The unnerving feeling of watching yourself from outside your body, going through the motions of what was your life, but being detached from all of it. You don’t recognize yourself. Your previous life feels but a vapor long gone, like a mist of a dream you begin to wonder if it happened at all.

*Widowhood* is the irony of knowing if that one person was here to be your support, you would have the strength to grieve that one person. The thought twists and confuses you. If only they were here to hold you and talk to you, you’d have the tenacity to tackle this unwanted Lîfē. To tackle the arduous task of moving on without them.

*Widowhood* is missing the one person who could truly understand what is in yôur Hēårt to share. The funny joke, the embarrassing incident, the fear compelling you or the frustration tempting you. To anyone else, you would have to explain, and that is too much effort, so you keep it to yourself. And the loneliness grows inside you.

*Widowhood* is struggling with identity. Who are you if not their spouse..? What do you want to do if not the things you planned together..? What brand do you want to buy if not the one you two shared for all those years..? Whåt is your purpose if the job of investing into your marriage is taken åway..? Who is my closest companion when my other half isn’t here..?

*Widowhood* is feeling restless because you lost your home, identity, partner, lover, friend, playmate, travel companion, co-parent, security, and life. And you are drifting with an unknown destination.

*Widowhood* is living in a constant state of missing the most intimate relationship. No hand to hold. No body next to you. No partner to share your burden.

*Widowhood* is being alone in a crowd of people. Feeling sad even while you’re happy. Feeling guilty while you live. It is looking back while moving forward. It is being hungry but nothing sounding good. It is every special event turning bittersweet.

*Yes...* It is much more than simply missing their presence. It is becoming a new person, whether you want to or not. It is fighting every emotion mankind can feel at the very same moment and trying to function in Lîfē at the same time.

*Widowhood* is frailty... *Widowhood* is strength... *Widowhood* is Đarkness...
*Widowhood* is rebirth...

*Widowhood…..is Lîfē changing."*
