Strongest Woman I know

I have forever been the strong one. I have handled situations that as I look back, I wonder how I did it.

Determination, focus, and overcoming challenges has been my trademark. I had a process that helped me focus and “beat” the odds.

I was the first of the firsts in my family. I paved the way for those behind me and reached back to help others.

Helping others overcome their obstacles is one of my life's purposes. I love to see others succeed and find and do what they love. I try to move mountains for others.

I ran into a mountain that I couldn’t climb, that I couldn’t move. Grief.

Grief is final. Death is forever.

Nowadays people say that someone grieves “too long”, but how long is too long to miss someone who is never coming back? How long is too long to not speak to the person you planned forever with. Death is final, but I am still here.

No amount of strength could help me deal with losing my husband.

So I got help. I got a therapist and a pyschiatrist to help me. To give me tools to lightened the load.

I am still grieving. I am just learning to not SUFFER from my grief. It takes strength to get help when you need it. I am the strongest person I know. And I use my strength wisely.

If you need help, please get it. ❤️‍🩹
