Walking Into My Future!
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 9 seconds
I have always walked and will continue to do so as long as I live.
Each step that I take keeps me moving forward.
Being a widow is not easy.
Grief can grab me anytime and pull me back into despair even when I believe I am doing OK.
More often than not, I have been holding my breath to make sure I can take the next step.
Walking allows me to connect to Jan with each step. She is always with me, but I feel closer to her while afoot.
As the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said,
If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
I do not know what my future will be, but my walks have begun to define the boundaries of my life without Jan.
Love never dies; it is rekindled one step at a time.

Even though grief is currently the main focus of my life, I have found comfort in taking walks. Walking helps me to clear my mind, stay physically active, and feel connected to my loved ones. Each step brings me closer to Jan, the love of my life, and reminds me that love never dies; it can be reignited with every step we take.
