I am an old pro as a four-year widow and it warms my heart knowing I can support other widows and widowers in the early days of their grief.

		<description><![CDATA[Today is the four year anniversary of Todd&#8217;s death. Sometimes it feels like it&#8217;s only been four minutes since he died. An unexpected memory will arise or a scent will waft by awakening an emotion in me that reopens the rawness of those early days of grief. Other days it feels like it&#8217;s been fourteen [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=widowmommy.wordpress.com&amp;blog=21487467&amp;post=292&amp;subd=widowmommy&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, it has happened. After nearly four years of widowhood, dating finally feels right. I have gone on dates. I have tried online dating and matchmaking services. But it felt unnatural and forced. But looking back, I know now that I wasn&#8217;t ready. It was me that was forcing something. But now, after some recent [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=widowmommy.wordpress.com&amp;blog=21487467&amp;post=291&amp;subd=widowmommy&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

When we face big changes, we experience such discomfort and anxiety that we don&#8217;t open ourselves up to the possibilities that lie beyond the change.
