Thank you for sharing my blog, Lesa…I really appreciate it. One of the first things I discovered through my writing is this…we are not alone in this. We did not invent widowhood. There are always widows in front of us and there will be widows coming up from behind. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every new widow was med on the part with someone who “gets it?” ?

I am glad you have identified this correlation and lean into the experience. I have another widow sister girlfriend where the month of June has her late husband’s birthday, her deceased daughter’s days, her wedding anniversary and his death date all in one month. It’s a left, and a right, and a left and a right, despite faith, the days are still heavy and the world circles the pull of one to another regardless of spiritual maturity and staying busy the pull is just THERE. She and I were just talking about this intensely this weekend, and this am I shared your blog with her, especially these last few paragraphs. You know that it “takes one to know one” and we “get it”. Loss and trauma changes a person and dates matter. Now we acknowledge and then push tenderly forward in our Father’s care as fellow explorers with limps. But forward we go ! Blessed Be.
