Widowed - Facing Life Alone
from Year One of Grief Hosted by Jack Church
Being a widow or widower can totally suck at times. For me, I first met my sweet wife Pam in high school. We then dated and married after our first year in college. When I lost her far before we were even thinking about retirement it became clear if God kept me on this earth to the minimum life expectancy, I was going to be alone for many, many years. Of course some widows and widowers find love again and are often not alone for very long. For me, I often kid that I outkicked the coverage with Pam and have no hope or really any desire of meeting someone else. So, like many in my shoes I've come to accept the single life which can be very challenging at times. For this show I will share some of my thougths on survival as well as thoughts from our 94 year old grandmother Lola who lost her husband fairly young in life and has lived almost three decades single. This may not be the most uplifting message but it does have a few nuggest of gold I hope will help you in your grief journey.
