Your Life Feels Horizonless

Your husband died, and all of a sudden, your life feels horizonless.

You're walking through days that blur together,

unsure where one ends + the next begins.

You try to make plans, but it feels pointless.

What does the future even look like now? 

Your world used to feel steady,

but now it feels like you're floating in the unknown, untethered + unsure where to land.

You didn't just lose him. You lost the map to your entire life.

✨Widow sisters, don’t miss this —

When we understand what happens to our brains after death, we unlock a new level of self-compassion + patience within ourselves FOR ourselves.

Your life partner died.

OF COURSE you’re having panic attacks.
OF COURSE you feel lost + disoriented.
OF COURSE you feel like a stranger in your own body.
OF COURSE your brain is offering you scary thoughts.
OF COURSE you can’t remember things.
OF COURSE you feel like this will never end.
OF COURSE you spiral at 2 AM.

🥹Of course, of course, of course.

Something catastrophic happened,
and your brain went into preservation mode.

💡Your brain is not broken; it’s in shock.

And because you have a good brain
intentionally designed by a good God,
it’s immediate response is to protect you.

See, when I begin to fully get WHY my brain
is responding this way, I’m able to make sense of
WHY I feel, act, + think certain ways.

Learning my widow brain changed everything.
It was the catalyst to —

recognizing my needs within deep grief waves
responding to myself with gentleness
replacing self-judgement with self-awareness
reclaiming authority + agency over my healing
releasing shame + learning how to get unstuck

💕Your brain is good, sister.
and there are powerful ways to support it
so that the crazy doesn’t feel so consuming.
