#widow #grief #loss It's another Saturday and you would think after 3 years this would not be a problem. However, grief is complicated and if your like me and loss your husband or wife the weekends were always made better because you had somebody to share life with. Weekdays we tend to do OK becasue we may still be working or raising children. Also, on weekdays it's not as hard getting out to a restaurant or event because it's more common during the week to see singles out and about. However, weekends were made for and dominated by families and couples going out and having fun. So, the weekends become a bit more challenging for the widowed or divorced. In my case I do a lot of hiking, golfing and going to sporting events on weekends. But, on weekends like this one when it's cold, dark and raining it becomes a bit more challenging. The tempation is to pull the covers up over our heads and try and forget it's the weekend. But, I think we would all agree that's the wrong approach. So, in this message I share with you how I got thru this cold, damp Saturday and manged to avoid the temptation of having a pity party.
