I was completely lost when my husband passed away from cancer. He was not only my husband but my best friend and soul mate. I totally fell apart I could not function for a long time. Finding Hope for Widows Foundation gave me hope that I could work thru the pain to reach a point where I could face life alone. Reading and relating to the stories of other widows a s seeing that what I was feeling was very normal gave me comfort. I drew strength from the amazing women who shared their struggles and victories in finding their new normal. I felt I would never fell joy again and felt very lost. I gained strength to fight to find out where I fit into this world alone. I also learned I can continue to cherish my love and life with my husband while finding a new normal. I have gained hope and peace by learning that the grief is essential to my journey. I found my way thru the grief by seeing the power of the widows how shared their stories of conguring the profound loss to manage the grief and rise again to the new normal for me.
