@curatedbyfred: The older I get, the more I realize that the person looking back at me in the mirror has been through things nobody else will ever fully understand. There are parts of my life I wish I could do over. Decisions I'd change. People I wish I'd held onto longer. Moments I wish I'd appreciated more. But here's what I've learned... You can't spend the rest of your life judging yourself for who you were when you didn't know what you know now. Growth isn't about becoming someone completely different. Sometimes it's about finally making peace with the person you've been all along. The wrinkles, the gray hair, the scars, the lessons...they're all reminders that I'm still here, still learning, and still becoming. And maybe that's the real definition of aging well. Not looking younger, but finally being comfortable with who you see in the mirror. #grief #fyp #widow #widower #lifeafterloss
