Grief Does Not Have To Be A Life Sentence - You Are Allowed To Be Happy Again!

As a widowed person, I feel I have a license to say the following. It is not meant to diminish anyone’s grief, but to say in a light way that one is not expected to wear the title of “widowed” around one’s neck like a noose.

There are those who are made to feel they must remain forever “loyal” to a spouse who has passed on. They continue to wear a wedding ring years after the passing. Others refuse to move the spouse’s favorite piece of furniture or leave pictures and other memorabilia in a certain location in the home, because “that’s where it has always been.”
