<3> The Importance of Maintaining Friendships as a Couple
As I sit here, reflecting on my life as a widow, I am reminded of the importance of maintaining friendships, even when you’re part of a couple. It’s easy to let those friendships fade, especially when you’re so caught up in your relationship with your partner. But trust me, you never know when you’ll need those friends.
<4> The Reality of Losing a Partner
Losing a partner is one of the most difficult experiences you can go through. It’s a pain that’s hard to put into words, and it’s a pain that I wish no one had to endure. But, as I’ve learned, it’s not just the loss of a partner that’s difficult, it’s also the loss of a support system.

But, the truth is, there are people who do understand, and they’re the friends you made before you got into a relationship.
