From We to Me

​From “we” to “me”.
One of the hardest and possibly the weirdest transition in this journey of widowhood is the change from being part of a “we” to being just “me”. I find myself saying things like “We have electricity” or “I am so thankful we have a gas fireplace in case the power goes out”. The thing is, unless I have a mouse in my pocket, there is no longer a we; it’s just me. It took a while, but it hit me that I am living alone for the first time in my life at 54 years old. I moved from my parent’s house to college, got married right after my first year of college, had two children living with me when I got divorced, and then married Tom. So I have always been part of a “we”. Now I am just me. I miss being part of that “we” with Tom. I miss having someone to discuss things with and make plans with. I just miss Tom. There are just so many nuances to this whole thing that I guess you can’t imagine until you are going through it.

    My passion is to share the importance of playing, and not just as a child, but as an adult also. It is so important to take the time to play and be active. Our children are losing that.
