Dear New Widow:
My mother lost my Dad after 64 1/2 years of marriage. Naturally she was devastated. As her son I have tried to help by assisting with finances and insurance. I also am helping with groceries etc., so it is a team effort. My sister is also a terrific help to date.
I would encourage you to seek out family and friends as well as your church if you have one. Take frequent walks if you are able and it is safe to do so. Reading or gardening may help or simply reach out and call someone. Stay active and don't sit in the chair and waste away. Also maintain frequent doctor and dental visits to keep fit. I will pray for you and hope you will pray for us!
