Are We There Yet?

Are We There Yet?

When children travel they love to ask, “Are we there yet?” As you navigate life after loss, you may wonder the same thing. Some frequently asked questions are:

How long does grief take? 
As long as it takes. Each person has their own timeline and unique way of coping with loss. 

Will I always miss my loved one?
Probably so. But over time, the time of deep ache will be become more bearable, and memories of the person you’re missing will become gentle reminders of the impact they made in your life. Embrace it. It’s OK to always miss them. 

Why are people rushing me? 
People, especially those who have never lost someone close, may make insensitive comments about how long your mourning lasts. If someone is in a hurry for you to “be yourself again,” remember they did not experience your relationship with the person you’re missing. Take as long as you need. 

What about closure?
Have you ever heard the saying “Closure is for bank accounts not for love accounts”? The last thing you want to do is to try to “get over” someone you love! Grief and mourning help you process the emotions of sorrow, remember the person you’re missing, and take steps toward healing and a joy-filled life.

Dating.

“Single are you ready to mingle” Being a widow has been the most hardest journey I’ve ever in encounter in my life. It has been also a blessing that Our Heavenly Father is able to heal me and to give me the strength to continue this journey without my wonderful, increditable, loving, handsome husband. God is Good!!!!  But I wanted to talk about this topic “DATING”. There are a lot of you writing to me about this topic.  It’s been 2 years and 3 months since  my husband Age has passed away. I have no urgency or the desire to date anyone because I enjoy being fully whole with God. Spending time with my Heavenly Father and my loved ones is what I need for this season. But if it’s the Lords will for me to have another husband. ( hmmmm man that sounds weird??). Well that’s God’s instructions. But at this moment in my life,  I’m happy trying to fix me and fix my eyes onto God.  People ask me all the time, “When will I be ready to date?” My answer a...

New To Widowhood

One year into widowhood. First year of being a widow was hell!  When Age passed away I continued to stay with Age’s family. I didn’t want to leave Melbourne yet. I was trying to figure out what the hell was happening with my life.  So I pretended like everything was normal, I continue to carry on with life as if Age was alive; I went to work, pay bills, attended church and the list goes on.  But I started to noticed that things weren’t the same. The more I noticed the more I became depressed. My Home environment changed - there are certain things happened at my Melbourne home around me and towards me that we’re pretty bad. If my husband was alive things would have been handle differently or it wouldn’t happen at all.  My Health - I was gaining huge amount of weight, I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes, there were days I could walk because of my back. I did all this not realising I was hurting myself.  My Finances - I was down on o...

Take Heart

"Am I OK?" Have you ever walked into a room and turned around because you have no idea why you’re there? Grief can do that to you. Unfamiliar emotions can make you think you’re losing your mind and can make important decisions seem close to impossible. If you’re experiencing mental fogginess, take heart. The clouds will lift.  Grief-related sleeplessness, appetite changes, mood swings and mental cloudiness will diminish and eventually subside over time. The good news is, you are not going crazy.  Miss.Age❤️
