To “survive” as per the dictionary means “to live after the death of another person; to continue, endure; to come through alive”.
I think that surviving widowhood is more than just “coming through alive”. It’s a journey where you grow stronger and more independent. You really have no choice because grief wants to take over your life. You will not “come through alive” – in fact you will just be letting the world pass you by.
Do more than “survive” – get to know yourself and come out swinging. Stand up and fight for a life that is full of friends and family. Join groups, volunteer, find your passion and just go do it. Don’t feel bad that your the one that’s alive – instead be even more alive by seeking out positive people.

Be a survivor in more than body – be a survivor in your heart and soul.
