One of the things that happens in marriage is that your identities become intertwined: “the two become one flesh,” as the Bible says. You both lose a part of who you are, not in a bad or negative way, but in becoming one. Now, following loss, your identity is torn in half, and you have to rediscover and reconnect with a life you lived before marriage, an identity that has sat dormant for a long time. You might ask, “Who am I now? What will I do now?” How will life look now? These were some of the questions I asked myself to might be challenging, but asking them, accepting them, and slowly moving through them are significant steps towards your healing journey.
