The married widow. It’s not a typo nor an oxymoron.
My friend and I have an ironic take on her situation. She is married to someone with Alzheimer’s disease. She is both married and alone all at the same time. Her husband now resides in memory care much to her relief and worry and so many other emotions. He is still alive, still in need of her attention, and still unable to remember her name on most days. He is alive but no longer hers.
These opposing truths happen in so many areas of life. Maybe they are happening to you.
Competing truths can co-exist. Maybe you have a great job and feel unfulfilled. Maybe you have a loving partner, yet you feel distant. Perhaps you thought you knew what you wanted, only to feel more like the dog that caught the bus.
Now what?
There’s always a way to get more out of life. It helps to build awareness of your barriers and develop a plan to work gradually toward your preferred future.
I would love to help you explore your next level of a good life while honestly confronting all the things that make you feel stuck.
Let’s get you unstuck and moving in the right direction!
Mary
