@renee.sandoval8: Widow Edition: as I wrap up my soon-to-be first year of widowhood. Just shy of two months and it’ll be a year. I reflect on how this year has changed so dramatically from building till now. I don’t think anybody realizes that even though you were grieving the loss of a loved one. In my shoes, it was my beloved husband. You are having to take care of all the business related to the death of your loved one. For me, it was changing my name on two bills, which meant that I had to put down more deposits. I had to downsize things that I couldn’t afford anymore, like his truck and phone. And since we have a toddler, I now had to pay for daycare solely out of pocket. I finally decided that doing my nails and toenails were not a necessity at this point. Because spending time with my children and making memories was much more important. And finding that peace in this journey was the goal. So if you’re new to this, please realize that you are not alone. They say that the second year in is when it hits because that’s when you realize he is not coming home from work, or a friend’s house, or he is not waking up next to you. More to come. Love, Dustin’s widow##griefandlossjourney #widowtok #widowtoddlermama #YoungWidow
