Are you a widow or just having an identity crisis?

When we lose someone that has been a major part of our lives, we may struggle with who we are without them. How can we let our identity become so wrapped up in someone or something that we forget who we actually are. We are more than just a spouse, a sibling, a child, parent, or a friend. How do we redefine who we are and rediscover this new version of ourselves?
I have discovered that my identity crisis didn't come from becoming a widow. It was the death of my husband that has forced me to discover who I am. I always thought I was easy going, friendly, and thoughtful. I never realized how complaisant I was and never making any decisions for myself. It was always to appease my husband because keeping him happy seemed to be more important than my own happiness. I am discovering a more confident and independent version of me. I still struggle with this new version of myself, and the path of self-love is not easy, but the good thing is that love is not dead, just my husband.
As always, Widow Your Way!
