Trying Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'm not quite sure that I am "Beyond Active Grieving" but I aspire to be and I thought that a thread posting about positive steps towards living in chapter 2, instead of just surviving, would be a good step. I hope others who are finding their way will join me so we can inspire each other. My recent positive step is that I am starting to make financial decisions on my own. DH was a financial advisor and I let him take the lead in most financial decisions. 2 weeks ago I bought my son a used car. I did all of the research and feel really good about my choice! I am a practical and competent woman and I can make decisions on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangomom Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 For the first time in 2-? years I am in a place where I am ok with being alone. I don't want to be alone, but I am not fearing it. i was in a relationship pretty early out that has died a slow uncomfortable death. It hurt like hell, but I am already able to see it as a gift, a stepping stone to show me what I need and want, and what I have to offer. I kinda almost might maybe feel like I have my shit together these days. How about that!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeNDave Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Way to go Mangomom! I also have fleeting moments (more often now) where I feel as though I've got it together too. And Hachi, I'm so glad you followed - when people talk about being a Widow Vet, I think about how this is the third board we've been a part of... let's hope it sticks around awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
