Widows need to find a new “Normal”. Everything changes in our daily life when a spouse dies. An article in a blog from “The Grief Recovery Method” states a very valid point… In order to successfully deal with grief, we must change our habits on how we deal with the emotional pain.
Sometimes it may just be finding a support group to discuss with other widows what works for them. There are support groups in churches that work through curriculum and videos.
Not only should a widow do it for herself, but when they have children who are going through their own grief (as I had), we must be a role model for them.
There are unhealthy habits we can get caught up in, and then there are healthy habits. Pray for the healthy ones to become part of your daily routine. You will reap the benefits by recovering from grief to move on!
