Healing Steps

One of the things that happens in marriage is that your identity becomes intertwined; you both lose a part of who you are, not in a bad or negative way, but in two becoming one. When that person dies, you have to try to rediscover and reconnect with an identity that has been sitting dormant for a long time. You might ask, “Who am I now? What will I do now?” How will my life look now? These questions might be challenging, but asking them, accepting them, and slowly moving through them are significant steps towards your healing journey.
