A lot of widows are carrying way more than people realize. They see you functioningā¦.But they donāt see:
the mental load
the grief triggers
the emotional exhaustion
the constant carrying
Widowhood changes EVERYTHING.
And sometimes the hardest part is trying to keep showing up for life while grief still quietly sits beside you every day.
If youāve been feeling emotionally worn down latelyā¦
you are not weak.
It makes sense that youāre tired.
Youāve been carrying grief
while still trying to carry life too.
If this resonates with where you are right nowā¦
I hope it reminds you that your exhaustion makes sense.
And if another widow has been quietly carrying too much lately, maybe send this to her too. š«¶
