Losing my husband and life partner in a sudden illness that took him away from me in just two days completely took away my life's meaning. The grief was overwhelming, and I struggled to accept it for a long time. I struggled to see how I would be able to manage our household alone as a widow. This pulled me down into a state of confusion, overthinking, and enormous emotional distress, where I felt that I lost myself completely. See how I found a peer support group of widows through my church that I could open up to. This helped me realize that I was not alone and allowed me to find a new meaning in life. We supported each other in finding good ways to manage our households alone. Through my journey as a community health worker, I found the mental health organization Friendship Bench, where I started working as a “GoGo”-counseling grandmother and could utilize my lived experience to support others. The new knowledge I gained through that journey about mental health allowed me to find an even deeper drive in life to add to my healing.
