What is a Widow’s Quest?

So here is the definition of a quest
Quest = “a long and difficult search”
I think that is a great summary of what we all go through. I don’t know about you but at the beginning I didn’t even know what I was searching for, or indeed if I wanted to search! This is my experience
I don’t want to search
I can’t ever see myself wanting to
I don’t want to feel this way
How do I get through this?
I need to get through it for my family
I think I can get through it – a day at a time
At this point you are starting on your “quest” to find a new inner peace, a new way of being happy, a new life. Yes, I think a quest is the right word – a long and difficult road, but most things in life worth having are not easy. I am glad I too on the quest, and I am glad that I withstood the hard difficult times….because now I am a better person, and a stronger one.
