4 Years Ago I Became a Widow- WIDOWED AFTER 19 years of MARRIAGE

Is this a bad dream? This is my honest feelings of my pain and loss. I never thought this would be my new journey.
Survivors guilt, feeling abandoned and that my life was over. I wanted to share my personal journey and to new beginnings.
Losing my husband made me feel like NOT going on, but I picked myself up. I grew in many ways, my company grew, and I became even more vocal as a designer to try to help others. I hope my story helps you too.

I remember this day. I live right here in utah and felt so bad reading your blog, and felt your pain reading it. I'm so happy that you have gone on living. You deserve all the happiness this world has to offer.

We are blessed that you felt you could come to us with this. I think of you a lot. What you and your children went through, how it changed your productivity for awhile and how you've found a way to move forward. Tyler was proud of you then and he's proud of you now. You are never alone. Creative Blessings!

I think this video was amazing. I remember when I heard you were remarrying and I will be honest my thoughts were like most about the timing but listening to you just explains it so much and I honestly can say I am sorry for thinking like most that it was so soon. You are such an inspiration and your words have hit me hard. I have went through a lot in my life as well and you are right it is a learning experience and we should grow from it. I also would have never known you didn’t have a perfect marriage. People I believe see you as a person who just must have the perfect life and it is nice to see someone so accomplished and has become a well known name be so humble and down to earth and a real person! Most of us consider ourselves a regular joe smo and there is no way we can relate to such an important person as you and to see that you are not this unreachable person and we can relate is so amazing. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to more.

You are so strong and brave! I lost my mom when I was 5 and my dad when I was 12. I think experiencing loss only makes us love harder and fight stronger to live with joy. May god continue to keep blessing you!

I lost my husband four years ago I was 23 at the time, and he also dies of cancer.... It never gets better you just learn how to live without them.

I needed to hear someone talk about some of these issues. Thank you. I like how you think. Marriage is hard. And you keep working at it. Thru good and bad.
