widowed hashtag performance

#Widowed encapsulates shared experiences of loss, resilience, and healing. It offers support, storytelling, and community for those navigating grief, fostering connection, understanding, and shared journeys through life's challenging transitions.
Stepping into an entirely different life with someone else after your husband dies is beautiful but it isn't easy. Some make it look effortless and without hiccups, and perhaps I haven't done a good job portraying it otherwise, but blending families after a death is very complex and comes with many conflicting emotions. It isn't easy to navigate extreme personal growth after a traumatic loss AND growth within a new relationship.  During this endeavor there have been both triumphs and setbacks.  Times where I doubted my own grief and process (am I holding onto the past too hard or letting go too quickly?)  There have been many tough and difficult conversations as we navigate co-parenting, grief, and blending of 3 families.  But relationships aren't supposed to be easy. They are meant to make you grow and expand as a person, humble you, put a mirror to yourself and what you need to refine. Nothing worth having is ever easy.  But Anthony and I, despite both the storms and the calm from the storms that we've had to navigate through, always choose doing it together than without each other. We challenge one another, but we make each other better versions of ourselves. We have grown and expanded individually, as partners, and as co-parents. A beautiful, messy journey.  So what you see may just look like another cute video. But what I see are so many days together, growing in love with one another, accepting each others strengths, weaknesses, and differences as we integrate our lives together, and becoming one family 🥹 . . . . 💌DM "Support" for 1:1 grief support 💌DM "Carried" to preorder my 2nd book 💌DM "Running " for my book 💌DM "Email" to sign up for my list . . . #grievingprocess #griefcoach #griefjourney #youngwidow #youngwidows #widowedandyoung #widow #widows #widowhood #widowlife #widowed #widowedmom #anaphylaxis #anaphylacticshock #anoxia #anoxicbraininjury #anoxic #death #griefandloss #deathanddying  . . .

There are both dark knowns and unknowns that we carry after we experience a life altering death.  I opened my email when I was going through an insurance appeal after Ryan's death and saw that my medical expert had attached the EMS report from the day of his accident. My heart immediately started thumping out of my chest.  I had been there the day of his accident. I had witnessed everything. I saw how Ryan gasped for air and the fear in his eyes before he went unresponsive. I carry those traumatic events in every cell of my body. The helplessness I felt returned reading the words in black and white.  And then so many questions emerged.  Did he know what was happening? What was his last thought?  Could I have done more? What did I do wrong? Was he scared?  Reading about Ryan's accident in medical terms made everything seem so real. It made gray and fuzzy areas more distinct. And I broke down that day. About things I wished were different. About the pain Ryan endured. About how scared he was and how I couldn't save him. About how the insurance company was making me relive the trauma. I let myself be angry. I told Ryan how sorry I was.  In my work as a grief coach, I help those who have been through a traumatic loss find peace, release guilt associated with their loss, and teach how to carry a forever pain while stepping into the light and not be consumed and controlled by the things we cannot change.

One day closer to being w/ you both again 💙🦋🥹 #lifeafterloss #youngwidow #childlossgrief #infantlossawareness #stillbirthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #MentalHealthAwareness #widowed #grievingjourney #griefandloss
Man tonight has felt like someone threw me back into freshly losing you both, all of it so surreal, but real.. & man, im angry but not with either of you.. more the universe, or our higher selfs if we picked this.. im angry as to why my love had to suffer & why my son couldnt get to grow up. Im sad im here without you both, & that I cant do a damn thing about any of it #grieftok #heavyheart #youngwidow #childlossgrief #depression #grievingjourney #hopelessness #griefandloss #HealingJourney #grievingmom #widowed #unaliveawareness #mensmentalhealth #MentalHealthAwareness #addictionawareness
Jealousy.  It is hard for me to even admit that after my husband died that one of the emotions I felt intensely, was jealousy. But I've learned that grief is messy, tricky, and complex like that.  I remember specifically the first Memorial Day after my late husband, Ryan's, death how jealous and enraged I felt looking online at all the pictures of intact families celebrating the holiday. There were children playing on the beach and in the ocean with their parents. Smiling, laughing, barbequing, and creating happy memories. And it all made me want to throw my phone against a wall, because that is what I had in my life before loss. I couldn't look at smiling couples, especially with children, for a long time without feeling that pang of jealousy rise up inside of me.  And it is normal to feel this way, although we feel pretty crappy when we are in the midst of feeling jealous over looking at happy families. It made me feel like a bad person for a while but it makes so much sense now. When Ryan died, we had lost someone precious to us forever. Our family will never look or feel the same. The jealousy you may feel stems from grieving what you once had which now does not exist and can never exist in the same form. Happy families are a harsh reminder of what you lost.

On October 14, 2021, my late husband, Ryan, had a severe reaction to a bee sting, causing him to go into cardiac arrest and resulting in an anoxic brain injury (i.e. when the brain is deprived of oxygen).  Ryan went from someone so full of life to someone who couldn't do anything. He was in a coma and then in a minimally conscious or vegetative state. Most people don’t understand how painful it is to watch someone who was a fully functioning, loving, independent human become a shell of themselves. Brain injuries also affect the body. People with brain injuries develop conjectures in their limbs that are painful, as well as bed sores.  They lose muscle mass. They are at risk for pneumonia, blood clots, and other infections. Modern medicine can keep these individuals alive for years if not decades. When we were told that a meaningful life for Ryan was impossible, we asked “What would hospice look like?” I had no idea that in Pennsylvania where death with dignity is not available, hospice for those in vegetative states means withdrawing nutrition and hydration.  Ryan was on hospice for 22 days, and his artificial nutrition and hydration were withdrawn on the 10th day. He was kept comfortable by a copious amount of pain medication. I will not lie, it was a terrible thing to watch. This experience made me so much more aware of the importance of having other options for death when an individual is terminal and suffering. In sharing, I hope to bring awareness to an experience that is rarely talked and misunderstood.  . . . . . 💌DM "Support" for grief support 💌DM "Carried" to preorder my 2nd book 💌DM "Running " for my book 💌DM "Email" to sign up for my list . . . . . #grievingprocess #griefcoach #griefjourney #youngwidow #youngwidows #widowedandyoung #widow #widows #widowhood #widowlife #widowed #widowedmom #anaphylaxis #anaphylacticshock #anoxia #anoxicbraininjury #anoxic #death #griefandloss #deathanddying .

I burned my whole world down when my husband died 🔥  Ryan's death stripped me of everything I thought I knew about myself and what I wanted from life. I knew there were those that expected me to mourn and live a certain way and I didn't meet those standards or expectations. I broke every rule.  I dated soon after my husband died.  I quit my stable career in law to follow my passion and help others like myself reeling from a loss.  I moved 14 months after my husband died.  I started sharing the vulnerable and hard about grief to millions of people.  I didn't hide my joy or the beautiful life I was creating.  I didn't hide who I had become in the aftermath of tragedy.  I said "F it" to every standard of what a "good widow" should look and act because it didn't feel authentic to who I was or my grief.  We often become so wrapped up in the "shoulds" and "should nots" because we are afraid of what people will say and think that we give up our own desires and comfort for everyone else's. This is how you remain stuck in your life after loss. When you make decisions based off your own wants, needs, and desires after your life is rearranged by death the pieces fall exactly how they are meant to.  You could die today. When that day comes don't you want to be living the version of life that YOU created, instead of someone else's version of your own life?

This is hard to admit to myself, let alone admit to the world. But after my husband died, I lost my patience and empathy for most people’s everyday “problems.”  I would think to myself while I was out in the world, hearing other people complain about these types of things and think “These people really have no idea what real problems are.” I wanted to scream at all of them to stop complaining and get some damn perspective. I wanted to yell, “Well your mocha latte is cold? That’s a damn shame. Well, my husband is dead!”  I was angry. I was envious. I was irritable and impatient. I hated that people could worry about their problems that could be mended or resolved. I was stuck in a world where my problems could not be fixed or restored. I had lost my ability to care about other people’s everyday concerns and problems because I compared my loss to everything. Everyone else’s inconveniences didn’t matter comparatively to my earth-shattering loss.  And this is really what it is like when you are in the depths of early grief. You compare your BIG, unsolvable, unimaginable problems to everyone else’s normal problems that you had the privilege of worrying about before your loss.

This is hard to admit to myself, let alone admit to the world. But after my husband died, I lost my patience and empathy for most people’s everyday “problems.”  I would think to myself while I was out in the world, hearing other people complain about these types of things and think “These people really have no idea what real problems are.” I wanted to scream at all of them to stop complaining and get some damn perspective. I wanted to yell, “Well your mocha latte is cold? That’s a damn shame. Well, my husband is dead!”  I was angry. I was envious. I was irritable and impatient. I hated that people could worry about their problems that could be mended or resolved. I was stuck in a world where my problems could not be fixed or restored. I had lost my ability to care about other people’s everyday concerns and problems because I compared my loss to everything. Everyone else’s inconveniences didn’t matter comparatively to my earth-shattering loss.  And this is really what it is like when you are in the depths of early grief. You compare your BIG, unsolvable, unimaginable problems to everyone else’s normal problems that you had the privilege of worrying about before your loss. It takes a long time to start regulating yourself to start caring and empathizing with other people after your world falls apart. The thing is this. I didn’t have the perspective I do now and many people don’t have the perspective you do.

God saw my struggle as a young widow with a baby and a toddler and he gave us a safe place to land ❤️  My fiancé, Anthony, and I met when I was just starting to discover who I was in the aftermath of an unimaginable loss. I had been stripped of so much of who I was in my life before and I was picking up the broken pieces and trying to make sense of a life that felt scary and out of control. I had no energy to hide my brokenness and darkness. I had no energy to hide how messy and complex my life was as a widow and a solo mom.  I remember the first weekend he spent with us, Leo started screaming in the middle of the night and I was so exhausted from not sleeping for months on end and he jumped out of bed to get the baby a bottle and feed him. No hesitation. The first time I was able to take a nap in more than a year, I came down to Anthony folding laundry, a happy cooing baby, and Jackson playing with legos. He has always treated us like we were his responsibility to take care of. I could finally rest and allow someone else to carry some of the heavy load we carry as widows.  All the messiness was out for him to see and he still chose to love us, care for us, and treat us as if we were his own right from the start. Without question. Without wavering or games or confusion. He has always been so steadfast in his devotion and commitment to us.  So many prayers answered seems like an understatement....Two more sleeps till "I do" 👰🏼‍♀️ . . . 💌DM "Support" for 1:1 grief support 💌DM "Retreat" for my widow's retreat  💌DM "Carried" to preorder my 2nd book 💌DM "Running " for my book 💌DM "Email" to sign up for my list . . . #grievingprocess #griefcoach #griefjourney #youngwidow #youngwidows #widowedandyoung #widow #widows #widowhood #widowlife #widowed #widowedmom #anaphylaxis #anaphylacticshock #anoxia #anoxicbraininjury #anoxic #death #griefandloss #deathanddying

I get asked all the time as a grief coach how to measure "progress" within the grief experience because it is often hard to gauge how we are doing when we are IN it. So here are a few tangible and practical ways to access your healing in grief: Everyday tasks that once took all your energy, attention, and focus become more manageable (i.e. getting out of bed, getting ready for the day, making yourself a meal, making a phone call, or completing a chore). You don't push away or busy yourself out of feeling uncomfortable emotions, you allow yourself to feel them so you can move through them and know you can bear them. You're able to identify what you're feeling and what to do to make yourself feel better. You use supportive coping mechanisms (like movement, therapy, and journaling) to deal with difficult situations and emotions and have transitioned from using unsupportive coping mechanisms like alcohol, drugs, doom scrolling, excessive shopping, etc. You're able to rest and be still without feeling like you're crawling out of your skin, anxious, or guilty. You allow yourself to feel joy without as much guilt as before because you understand you're deserving of happiness. You're able to nourish your body with a balanced diet and you're sleeping better. Which one(s) have you noticed? . . . 💌DM "Support" for 1:1 grief support 💌DM "Retreat" for my widow's retreat  💌DM "Carried" to preorder my 2nd book 💌DM "Running " for my book 💌DM "Email" to sign up for my list . . . #grievingprocess #griefcoach #griefjourney #youngwidow #youngwidows #widowedandyoung #widow #widows #widowhood #widowlife #widowed #widowedmom #anaphylaxis #anaphylacticshock #anoxia #anoxicbraininjury #anoxic #death #griefandloss #deathanddying

Many people do not understand the complexities that come with a widow dating and/or opening herself up to the potential of finding love again after the death of a spouse.  It takes a lot of courage after a loss to even be open enough to date another person.  It takes a lot of courage to open up to the possibility of love and potential loss again or a broken heart.  It’s scary, confusing, and unearths so many facets of grief when you begin dating or venture into the realm of another relationship after losing the person you thought was your “forever person.” And when a widow is lucky enough to find someone that can help shoulder the weight of her grief and be patient, kind, understanding, and loving to her and her children (if that’s the case) there should only be a few things you say, but they should all sound close to “I’m happy for you.” And if you can’t say that—silence is second best 🤫 As widows we have walked through fire and survived. We have been through tragedy beyond many people’s comprehension. If we find love again after all the heartache and pain (no matter when the universe or God puts it in our path) it is something to celebrate—because it is truly miraculous and a blessing🙏🏻❤️ If you’re a widow and willing to share your love after loss story, I’d love to hear it below. . . . 💌DM "Support" for 1:1 grief support 💌DM "Retreat" for my widow's retreat  💌DM "Carried" to preorder my 2nd book 💌DM "Running " for my book 💌DM "Email" to sign up for my list . . . #grievingprocess #griefcoach #griefjourney #youngwidow #youngwidows #widowedandyoung #widow #widows #widowhood #widowlife #widowed #widowedmom #anaphylaxis #anaphylacticshock #anoxia #anoxicbraininjury #anoxic #death #griefandloss #deathanddying  . .

Before my late husband, Ryan, suffered an anoxic brain injury from going into cardiac arrest, I was naive to the insidious nature of brain injuries. The way brain injuries take hold of the essence of a soul and squeezes the life out of the person it inhabits—leaving them utterly and completely helpless and broken.  The hardest thing about seeing Ryan after his accident was the fact that I had loved and knew so intimately the man he was in the “before.” He went from being a strong, capable, intelligent, funny, and charismatic man and father to being more helpless than a baby in a matter of 20 minutes when his brain was deprived of oxygen.  No one can prepare you for how devastating it feels when you have to sit by the man that made sure you were safe and taken care of everyday for 10 years, and watch him become a shell of the man you once knew.  Toward the end of Ryan’s life, when he was still in rehab, I would hide in the bathroom when they changed his briefs or transferred him to his wheelchair. I was done seeing him not be the healthy, vibrant man I knew and I physically and emotionally couldn’t handle the sight. I continue to feel called to bring to light how devastating brain injuries can be and how painful it can be for families caring for a loved one with a brain injury. I hope this brings some awareness to it as I was blissfully unaware prior to October 14, 2021.  . . . . 💌DM "Support" for 1:1 grief support 💌DM "Carried" to preorder my 2nd book 💌DM "Running " for my book 💌DM "Email" to sign up for my list . . . #grievingprocess #griefcoach #griefjourney #youngwidow #youngwidows #widowedandyoung #widow #widows #widowhood #widowlife #widowed #widowedmom #anaphylaxis #anaphylacticshock #anoxia #anoxicbraininjury #anoxic #death #griefandloss #deathanddying  . . .

If I could go back to the time before my husband's accident, there is so much I would do differently.  There is so much I would make sure I knew and understood about what my husband, Ryan, wanted if anything happened to him and what would be the most significant and important to him as the boys and I went through our lives without him. I would make sure we had the really tough conversations even if they we didn't want to talk about these terrible, unimaginable things.  We didn't have a lot of these conversations and so I had to make really difficult decisions on my own without truly knowing what Ryan wanted. All my decisions were in his best interest (or so I thought), but I truly wish I didn't have to make any decisions in crisis and that I just knew exactly what to do. I didn't know so much. I still don't know if I did exactly what he would have wanted. But I did the best I could.  If you're reading this and have a spouse or significant other, here is your sign to start having those really tough, messy, and unpleasant conversations. I wish I had fought for them. I wish I had some insight into so many things I have to guess and wonder now for myself. It's too late for me, but it's not too late for you if your spouse is still here ❤️ I hope you never have to know the answers to these questions, but I promise they will mean more than you know if you ever do need to know.
