The Hampton Herald
September has arrived and with it comes crisp morning temperatures, fall colours and a sense of new beginnings. I think anyone with children in the school system can agree that the year revolves around the school schedule, rather than starting with the calendar year in January. I have always loved this time of year- as a child I could hardly wait for it to be time to buy school supplies and would spend hours arranging and rearranging my school books and supplies, packing my new back pack days in advance. I still get excited to see the supplies arrive in the store (who doesn’t like new stationary?) but now fall is more about getting back into a routine after the lazy, hazy days of summer. This is especially true this year. Emma is almost two months old (I can’t believe how quickly time is passing) and mommy and baby are getting to know each other and develop our own little routines. After a four day hospital stay, followed by another four weeks of restricted activities, I’m thrilled to be able to regain a little independence and get back to normal. When I first came home, I was under strict instructions to rest, and was not permitted to lift anything heavier than Emma- thank goodness she was so tiny or even that may have been frowned upon. Who would have ever thought I would miss being able to do house work but four weeks of not being able to drive, garden, mop the floor or pickup my nephew(s) or cats was even more exhausting than handling the late-night and early morning feedings. Emma
also loves this new-found freedom. She is so happy and engaged when we are out visiting friends and family, enjoying her walks and driving in the car. Visits with Grammie and Grampie Jim for snuggles and cuddles or walks with Nanny are a treat and Emma particularly enjoys visiting daddy at work where she is spoiled by the staff and customers alike. She has some of her best naps at my sister’s house in Petitcodiac, surrounded by two dogs, two cats, six hamsters, one three month old, and as many as six older children running around and Emma seems to be embracing our busy lifestyle. Kevin and I feel very fortunate to be surrounded by so much love! From offers to help with cat-sitting before Emma was born, to baby-sitting and house cleaning when we came home, our family and friends have been a god-send. We have also been privileged to receive Facebook messages, emails and comments from our readers and members of the community. Your kindness and thoughtfulness are overwhelming and we would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their support. 0001

FAMILY MATTERS PARENTING AND MENTAL HEALTH A person's parenting role can be closely tied to their mental health. Parenting can be both a source of stress and joy, as well as a source of hope, love and motivation. For these reasons, it can be helpful to spend some time reflecting on the following. Do just a few things. Or maybe even just one thing, especially during long weekends and holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Instead of cooking an entire family dinner – delegate and ask others to do something like meal prep or dishes. Use a family calendar to keep yourself organized. Consistent use of a family calendar helps you and your family recognize your family’s routine which allows for proper planning. Regular use of a calendar, open for everyone to see, can limit overwhelming your schedule, anxiety and stress. Look for ways of conserving your energy. Give yourself a break and take
a few shortcuts. It’ll definitely cut down on parenting stress. Instead of baking dozens of cookies from scratch, buy pre-made dough and have your kiddos cut out the cookies and decorate them. Less effort for you, more fun for them. Don’t overcommit to activities. Remember, you are not the only person in your community who can volunteer. You do not have to carry the load. Pick one fun volunteer activity and feel good about your contribution. Don’t make any big changes. Avoid making any major changes or decisions when you don’t feel mentally up to it. Wait until a much less stressful time where you may be more confident and assured. Balance your time. Ensure your life has a good balance of social, family, work and alone time. During your “me time”, get out of your house and away from all your obligations so you can decompress for a little while – it can really help to reset your mood.
Exercise and sleep. If you are dealing with depression and/or anxiety, sleep and exercise are CRUCIAL. Find time to exercise by penciling it into your calendar and don’t underestimate the power of a 30 minute walk. Identify your support network. Identifying supports who you can lean on during the tough times can do lots for lowering stress and/or managing mental health challenges – even if it is just an encouraging call. This week put down the laundry basket, stop cleaning or running the roads and enjoy the parenting 0006 journey.

HHS NEWS Welcome back, Hampton Huskies! This year, we are excited to have our Grad Class executive and Student Council combined as one big Leadership team. Rather than only having grad class updates here, we’ll now also include other exciting events taking place at HHS! This year started off with a bang as we welcomed the new Grade nine students to Hampton High! We’ve loved getting to know these new huskies. We can’t wait for our annual BOND event on September 21, where the grade twelve’s will have a fantastic opportunity to really get to know the grade nines even more! For those who don’t know, BOND is a competition held each year consisting of ten teams made up of grade nine and twelve students. Each team has two grade twelve captains who are responsible for motivating and encouraging their team to the very end. Teams compete in various activities, hoping to ‘Outwit, Outlast, and Outplay’ the other teams. The team that wins the most challenges in a timely fashion will be crowned the 2017/2018 BOND champions! BOND is always a great afternoon, and the
Leadership team is so excited to see who will come out on top this year! September 21 is going to be a busy day, as we also have a Greenhouse Ground Breaking ceremony taking place! Hampton High is building a greenhouse in partnership with Women for Nature, and many other local sponsors. We will be celebrating this event with many dignified guests, including the Lieutenant Governor, The Honourable Jocelyne Roy-Vienneau, as well as students and teachers. We are so excited to be building a greenhouse on our school property, and are thrilled to be able to host this event. Even though school has just started back up, October is just around the corner, meaning Halloween is coming up already! Keep your eye out for information coming out about our annual Scarefest, and Trick-or-Eat! If you’d like even more updates on everything going on at Hampton High, make sure to follow our new Instagram page @huskeygram_17 and use our hashtag #frostbitefever on all your husky-related posts!

The Hampton Speed Skating Club Tenant Insurance “Tenant Insurance is a good investment that provides peace of mind. Even if you’re renting on a temporary basis, it will help protect you and your belongings in the event of loss or damage.” Reasons for STUDENTS to buy tenant insurance: 1. It’s affordable - Tenant insurance will generally cost less per month than your daily coffee runs. 2. It protects your belongings - From furniture to expensive laptops, insurance will protect it. You own more than you think - Many people are surprised to realize how much they actually have and how expensive it would be to replace all of it at once. 3. It covers additional expenses after a loss - If a fire occurs in your apartment, you will need a place to stay temporarily. Insurance will cover additional expenses that are necessary while your apartment is being repaired. 4. It protects you if there is a lawsuit related to your rental unit A tenant insurance policy provides coverage, including defense costs and potential settlements, for lawsuits by a third party 5. You can’t afford to not have it - If something did happen, it would be financial strain to replace all of your belongings, plus cover the cost of damages to the apartment and potential lawsuit fees. Another reason - your lease likely requires that you carry tenant insurance

OBITUARIES
COOK, Elma Iveline It is with sadness that the family of Elma Iveline Cook, age 80, of Barnesville NB, announces her death which occurred on Friday, September 8, 2017 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. She was born in Saint John NB, on May 24 1937, wife of the late Fred Cook and a daughter of the late Ruel and Anna Belle (Verner) Totten. Elma, who most people referred to as Gram, was talented in many ways. She
PAUL HARRIS RECOGNITION AWARD On the July 31 the Rotary Club of
L-R Stephen MacMackin and Hampton Rotary President, Pat Hanratty
Hampton presented rotarian Stephen MacMackin with a Paul Harris recognition award for his many years of “Service above Self ” and his dedication to the activities of the Rotary Club of Hampton. The award is named after Rotary’s founder Paul Harris who formed one of the world’s first service organization in 1905. 4691
taught herself to play the accordion and enjoyed sharing her music with others. She was a talented quilter who provided baby quilts to the newborns in the community, and she was continuously knitting, making crafts and preserves. Gram loved animals and cared for many over the years including her herd of goats, feeding deer in her backyard, and getting up every 4 hours to bottle feed orphaned lambs in her kitchen. Family was very important to Gram. She came from a large family and loved her brother and sisters dearly. She had a large family and loved each and every member, always being available to make a meal, babysit, make a costume or just as a shoulder to cry on. Elma is survived by her daughters: Cindy McGrath of Barnesville NB, Bonnie Martin (Terry Bastarache) of Saint John NB, Tanya (Tim) Floyd of Titusville NB, Terena (Mark) Olsen of Barnesville NB; sons: Rick (Roberta) Cook of Salt Springs NB, Frank (Tanya) Kelemen of Barnesville NB; grandchildren Michelle (Dr. Luan) Le, Natasha (Jason) Leblanc, Carla (Chris) Scribbans, Tera (Adam) Barrett, Dawn VanWart (Jody Duplessis), Jason (Robin) Floyd, Jonathan (Shaunna) Floyd, Tom Floyd, Todd Floyd, Trevor Floyd, Frank Kelemen, Craig Kelemen, Zachary Kelemen, Taylor Burke, Alex
Burke, Anna Olsen; twenty-three great grandchildren; one great-great grandchild; sisters: Lois Perry, Vera Northrup; brothers Cecil Totten, Lorne Totten and Robert Grant; sisterin-law Irene Boucher; several nieces and nephews. Besides her husband and her son Frank’s dad, she was also predeceased by her infant sister Joyce Totten and brothers Norman Totten, Leonard Totten and Roy Totten. She rested at Reid’s Funeral Home, Hampton, with visitation on Tuesday, September 12 2017 from 2:00-4:00pm and 6:00-8:00pm. The funeral service was conducted by Pastor Ricky Schwarz and held on Wednesday, September 13 2017 at 11:00am from the Seventh Day Adventist Church, Barnesville. Songs were “I Come To The Garden Alone”, “Stroll Over Heaven With You” and “Guide Me Home”. Eulogy was given by son-in-law Tim Floyd and the message of comfort was given by grandson Frank Kelemen. Pallbearers were Rick Cook, Frank Kelemen, Tim Floyd, Mark Olsen, Jason Floyd and Dr. Luan Le. Interment took place in the adjoining cemetery. Donations in memory of Elma may be made to the SPCA or to the memorial of the donor’s choice. Personal condolences to the family and donations may be made through ReidsFH.com 0007

LIVE WELL FORGIVING OURSELVES Carl Jung, noted psychiatrist, wrote: “If one can accept one’s sin, one can live with it. If one cannot accept it, one has to suffer the inevitable consequences.” In other words, we must embrace our failures along with our successes to stop pain and be free of regret and remorse. I submit that there are very few of us who do not have regrets about something we have done or not done. Regrets chain us to the past leaving us sad, frustrated, and disappointed. Healing requires that we accept ourselves as “perfectly imperfect,” and “masterpieces in progress.” Failure to meet unrealistic expectations of ourselves or others is labelled as failures, subject to disappointment and frustration. Over and over, messages of failure can come to mean that we are failures, not that we made mistakes and we become “human doings rather than human beings,” in the words of John Bradshaw: “Success becomes measured by what we own and control.”

Although acceptance of our humanity and our imperfect lives are key to a happy and satisfied life, an inability to forgive ourselves or others for being human and perfectly imperfect, can keep us from using these experiences as powerful learning opportunities. Failures give us a second chance to choose again, whether they be in our professional or personal lives. Here are some unrealistic expectations that we need to let go of if we are to be in love with our lives: Life should be fair; Opportunities will just happen; Everyone should like me; Everyone should agree with me; People should know what I am trying to say or expect; I’m going to fail anyway; Things will make me happy; I can change him/her. (Travis Bradbury, Ph.D.) Challenging these beliefs means that we recognize not everything in life is fair. We create our own opportunities by considering what we need to do to remove

obstacles in our path. Not everyone will like us, sometimes for no good reason at all. Bending, folding and mutilating ourselves to be pleasing to others does not work in the long term. We all are entitled to have opinions that are often in conflict with others; however, if we are mature enough to open our minds, we can learn and grow from conflicting opinions. It is said that as we think, so we are. If we think we are a failure, we will be. Some of the wealthiest people in the world are miserable; things don’t make one happy. And finally, we cannot change others only ourselves. So, forgive yourself for being perfectly imperfect and look for the lesson in all perceived failures. 0008 Judy Urquhart MSW, RSW Gentle Path, Executive Director

IN THE GARDEN WATER..... THAT MOST PRECIOUS The life giving gift from the heavens, seems to be evading us; however the shortage of it should be keeping us mindful of its value and our responsibility in conserving it. There is no doubt that it has dramatic impact on what we are able to accomplish in the garden, with soil compacted to a concrete like substance digging is a positive chore; so what to do? Well.... even though the fruit crop may not be the juiciest in history, there is still a viable crop of berries and apples and in preparation for the season ahead one can get a good start on stowing away preserves; currant jellies of all persuasions have a mighty Vitamin C content and a spoonful of the same in a mug of hot water is as good a cure/preventive measure for colds as any medication, pleasant on the taste buds and a soothing invitation to sleep! We are surrounded by all sorts of
goodies in the garden and countryside that need no heavy digging to harvest and that provide a wealth of free entertainment and lasting pleasure on a cold winter day. Now is the hour (remember that waltzy WWII song?) to gather Fir and Pine cones and the abundance of flowers, wild and tame, to create table centres and arrangements; great ideas for gifting and wonderful for crafts of many kinds. If you have access to either a Buckeye or Horse Chestnut, the sky's the limit; growing up during the war was certainly a challenge and we learned to make the best of what was available, these wonderful trees opened the door of our imaginations and we produced amazing furniture for dolls houses with the help of yarn and straight pins. Another great activity for children is the creating of miniature gardens, using the mosses and seed pods that abound in gardens, woodlands and
even roadside ditches; the gathering of these things can make for a wonderful family adventure that can be enjoyed without spending any money and of course, can be a great way of teaching the value of our natural world. Waiting .. While we wait for the skies to deliver, may we spare a thought and a prayer for those poor souls in Texas and elsewhere who have had an overdose of water and wild weather, as we count our blessings with thankfulness. Blessings. 0039

HAMPTON’S PIGGS PEAK NEWS Around the time you read this, Bev Harrison will be leaving for his 13th trip to Swaziland on behalf of the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership. The school year starts in January and a key activity of the Partnership is assessing candidates for payment of school fees for the upcoming year. In Swaziland, one year’s tuition is often more than a year’s wages so the list of students needing financial help is a long one. Bev makes the very long trip to Piggs Peak, paying his own way, to allow him to personally meet and interview the potential students. Bev now works with our colleague in Piggs Peak, Linda Mathunjwa, a 27 year-old man who brings a Swazi insight and perspective to the selection process that is very important. They talk to teachers, interview students, and get to know them as well as possible, sometimes even visiting with their families at their homesteads. Bev says, “Amid Swaziland’s problems of HIV/AIDS and drought, I find people getting on with their life; rising above conditions that would break most of us. Swazis have hope that life will improve. Kids in school have hope
Laura and Linda that they will become a doctor, a nurse, a teacher, a lawyer or an accountant. They study with a dream for the future and they beg to attend school.” “The ones we support consider themselves part of Hampton. They are proud of being called the Canadian students or part of the Hampton family. We are treasured by parents, principals and others for our interest in them and because people from so far away actually care about them. They believe that God sent us specially to help them. We are like relatives
from away who came to their rescue.” Linda was once a Starfish student that Hampton supported and is now a paramedic in Swaziland and South Africa. Having been on the other side of the table, Linda understands the students’ challenges but also their potential for a successful future. Linda says, “Children in Swaziland want education, as it is the only hope to prosper in life. Also going to school is the only place where the kids can get a meal, because they can’t afford to get food back on their homestead.” “Not only did the group give me a good education, but I am like one of them now. I am part of the Hampton Piggs Peak partners. I have learned how to help other people help themselves through education. I believe that I should give back to others what has been given to me as best I can. I am happy for such a privilege.” The Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership is very fortunate to have Bev and Linda working on our behalf. For more information, contact me, Mark Bettle, at markbettle1@ 0010 gmail.com or 832-0003.

Fall
Home Improvement THE PERSONALITY OF DESIGN Before I kick this off, there is something I must admit. When I was asked to provide content pertaining to Fall Home Improvement, I was a little lost in figuring out what to
write. I’m not very familiar with design concepts and trends, so it was hard to find a good starting point. After all, whenever I’m out at the mall with my friends or
family, the design section is there only to walk through, maybe with the occasional glance at a painting or for the ten-minute sheet-pick up. So with my adolescent brain

and the basic fundamentals of being a teenager, I decided to broaden my horizons in the world of design. In keeping with the code of novice learning, I Googled it. It was through the wonders of technology (and decently fast wifi) that I was faced with the world’s most incomprehensible information. All the terminologies and the phrases such as complementary, silk sheets and throw pillows; debates over curtains, blinds and shades, differences between flat-packed furniture and antiques. It was extremely overwhelming. I was left thinking, “How on earth can there be people in the world that can simply enter a store and pick out random things that magically go together?” Quickly realizing that I didn’t know, I took out a pen and scrap paper, quickly jotted down my new vocabulary and, clutching at straws, made the executive decision that google images was more my speed. No measurable force on the planet could prepare me for the blizzard of whites, off-whites, blues and subtle hints of colour that blinded my eyes. Taking a second to re-focus, and consulting my cheat sheet, I had enough of a vocabulary to recognize certain furniture pieces. Day beds
and fluffy rugs, seemed to be a recurring theme; but to those who were present in the room, I probably looked similar to a child with one of those old “match the word to the picture” books. In other words, I had no idea what I was looking at, other than associating the word with the object; my kindergarten
teacher would be proud. With self-confidence brimming with mediocrity, I decided to visit the brand new, one million dollar Hospital Home Lottery Dream House. Thinking that a firsthand experience would be of some benefit, I wandered around aimlessly from room to room, trying

Then I got to thinking, why is it that just about every piece of design that I had explored was nothing other than white, greys, muted blues and various other pale hues and light colours? Keeping in mind that, in the case of the dream home, neutral tones allows people to envision themselves better, why do most design suggestions make all houses similar? Is it not the point of design to be a reflection of the person who lives in the home? Consider this; when you look at a group of people, any group of people, try to spot their similarities. Chances are a couple will be wearing glasses and a few with blonde hair, but look a little closer. It is here, when you look at the details that you see the personality come through. The frames of the glasses are different styles; the hair is cut in different ways. No two people have exactly the same clothing styles either. Could you imagine if we were all forced to wear the same everything; glasses, clothes, even have the same haircut? That would be, essentially, stripping away that person’s expression of their personality. Sounds pretty bleak am I right? After all it is our differences that make us who we are. As a society, we have demanded this right of self-expression and the ability to be who we are. With that in mind, why do we subscribe to the idea of the house with the white picket fence and perfect beigeboring interiors? If this is you, then
own it and love it, but for those of us who try to keep up with all the trends and hold ourselves to the quote, “picture perfect lifestyle”, it might be time to embrace the forgotten truth: Your house is a reflection of you and your personality. Remember the line that your parents gave you back when you went to school for the first time? Or maybe you have given the line to your own child: Just be yourself. It’s important to practice what we preach; our homes are the perfect place to start. Just be yourself and do what you want with your home; if bright colours are your thing, have at it and paint that dining room as yellow as the sunshine! Love those classic studies and offices of the Victorian age? Then buy some wood, dark stain, and nails: you’ve got yourself a do-it-yourself weekend project. Now I realize that in the world of resale values and planning ahead for what comes next, personalization and customization of a home seems like a bad idea that will “only bring the value down”. Challenge this way of thinking, let loose and have fun with your home! Guaranteed you will find that when your creativity comes alive, your mood will sky rocket with every bit of you that is poured into your home. Because. after all, your personality is what makes you who you are, so embrace it and express it through your own home.

EXCITING NEWS FOR SOBEYS AND FOOD BANKS The New Brunswick Association of Food Banks is honoured to partner with Sobeys on a new retail food program that will get more food to those who need it. Thanks to new corporate guidelines introduced by Sobeys, surplus food that is close to or past its best before date but still safe for consumption or use, will now be donated and distributed to those in need. The new program is launching at Sobeys stores across New Brunswick after a successful pilot project in three markets including Halifax and New Glasgow, Nova Scotia and here at home in Moncton. Food safety is a top priority for Sobeys and the New Brunswick Association of Food Banks. Both parties recognize the important difference between a best before date and an expiry date and no items that have passed the expiry date will be donated. Dry, shelf-stable foods that have passed their best before date and meet Food Bank Canada’s consumption date guidelines will be donated, including canned and dry grocery products. Fresh foods that cannot be frozen will be donated close to but not past their best before date, and distributed same day for quick consumption. Fresh foods that can be

frozen (e.g. meats, seafood and dairy) will be frozen on or before their best before date and then donated and distributed while frozen. Some health and beauty items will also now be donated. Logistics are in place to ensure the safe handling and transportation of all donated items. “This is a big step for all of us,” said Laurie Stewart, President of the New Brunswick Association of Food Banks. “Sobeys has taken an extremely comprehensive and open approach in getting to this point,

and we’re excited by the commitment they’ve shown and the volume and variety of food that our member agencies will now have access to. Sobeys is already our largest corporate food donor and this partnership will see donations grow exponentially across the province.” Since launching at Sobeys Vaughan Harvey in early April, Food Depot Alimentaire has received approximately 36,000 kg of new food donations from Sobeys Mountain Road, Elmwood Drive and Vaughan Harvey locations including frozen meat and fresh produce. This equates to more than 80,000 meals and enables the New Brunswick Association of Food Banks to distribute more balanced meals to those in need. “Sobeys is committed to proudly serving its communities, and supporting food banks and the important work they do is key to ensuring food access for everyone in Atlantic Canada,” added Paul MacLeod, Vice President Atlantic Store Operations, Sobeys Inc. “This new approach will ensure more food makes it to the tables of those who need it most and we take great pride in being the grocery retailer in Atlantic Canada that is leading the way on surplus food donations.” 4699

MORE THAN FITNESS FINDING TIME When trying to maintain a regular physical activity routine, time can be one of our biggest enemies! There never seems to be enough time or enough hours in the day to get everything done on our endless “to do” lists and unfortunately, taking time for ourselves is often one of the things that gets left out as we fight against the clock. This practice of “putting ourselves last” can really work to our detriment in the long run as sooner or later, if we do not take good care of ourselves, we will experience health issues that force us to slow down and make the time. Finding balance in my own life is a challenge I face personally, and I have recently begun to participate in a program that has helped me to be more mindful of including at least a little bit of activity into everyday, even when life is busy and I feel that I have “no time”. The challenge is to complete 15 minutes of physical activity every day, followed
by five minutes of mindfulness and ten minutes of personal development. When we think honestly about the time that we waste in the run of a day on activities such as answering emails, scrolling through Facebook, waiting in a line up for a cup of coffee, etc., we can all find a place to carve out a 15 to 30 minute window in our day. By making this a priority, we can improve not only our physical health, but our mental well-being as well. By taking the time to take care of ourselves and make our health and wellbeing a priority, we can improve our daily lives. If you don’t have time to make it to the gym or join a structured exercise class, there are many great programs and challenges online that you can log on to for at home workout ideas. There are many ways to squeeze in those minutes of activity either at home, at work or on the go with no other equipment besides your body weight and a pair of sneakers!

LIFE BALANCE MAKING SENSE OF LOVE “We are never so vulnerable as when we love.” - Sigmund Freud. Since my last post on relationships seemed to strike a chord among many people, I’ve written another post that touches on the ever-debatable topic of love. For this post, I will explore the topic of love through the therapeutic lens that I tend to use: the Emotionally Focused Therapy approach. In contrast to many therapeutic approaches that place emphasis on changing behaviours, Emotionally Focused Therapy, among many other things, seeks to transform a relationship by re-establishing a positive emotional connection. In other words, this approach brings to light each partner’s vulnerable emotions in hopes of gaining insight and new understanding into the relationship. This entails understanding a negative behaviour (i.e.: yelling or withdrawing) for the vulnerable emotional that it really is (i.e.: fear, loneliness, etc.). Once your partner understands that, for
instance, when you lash out and yell, it is actually a cry for help because you feel unheard or unimportant, fights will likely deescalate quicker and general tension in the relationship will begin to disappear. This change in dynamic will ultimately lead to a renewed sense of closeness and intimacy in the relationship. With the fear of arguing and isolation greatly lessened, couples can more easily express and respond to each other’s needs. This, in turn, leads to feeling supported and more prepared to move forward as a couple. This may all seem very technical or overwhelming. As a starting point, here are a couple of Emotionally Focused Therapy derived tips to help change the way you interact with your partner, thus helping re-establish a positive emotional connection. Observe what happens when you find openness with your partner difficult: do you withdraw, shut down, yell, pick a fight? Communicate this with your spouse. Talk

about how he/she impacts your behaviour. When you feel off, take a moment to reflect on why, and try to share with your partner what you need the most at that moment: do you need to hear “I love you,” do you need to be comforted, or do you need quality time. Keep your request short, sweet and simple. Once a day, openly ask your partner for their attention and affection: this is not clingy or needy. On the contrary. Attention and affection are wired-in desires that make up our survival code. Own it! 0040

ASK MARY I DON’T KNOW MY ROLE ANYMORE I was married for over 30 years and enjoyed my role as “wife”. I just don’t know who I am anymore. Is this normal for widows? As important as the role of “wife” is, you matter as a person and are defined by being more than a “wife”. I know that redefining ourselves is harder than it sounds. I was a “wife” for 27 years and I couldn’t just turn that role off. I was also a “mother”, “sister”, “friend” plus other roles but these roles had not changed like the role of “wife” did when Donnie died. You need to look beyond your role as “wife” to find who you are. Sometimes, after trauma, our roles get disrupted and we have a tough time with role confusion. You may feel that you have lost a core part of yourself and you may need to dig deep into who you are at a more core level. It’s funny that I had so many roles in life but once I lost the role of “wife” I
was unbalanced. That one role seemed to define me and yet I truly valued being a mother, sister, friend etc. I had to work at appreciating what I still had in my life – appreciate my other roles and even work at expanding them. In my heart I will always be a “wife” to Donnie and those memories will always be part of my life. But I like to think that all of my roles in life make up the whole and that I am no longer defined by just one role. Sometimes, we just need the time to quiet down in order to become the person we are meant to be. Don’t let anyone tell you that daydreaming is a waste of time. Dream of what you want your future to be and work to be the person who can make those dreams come true. As widows our lives changed and we cannot control the situation but we can control how we react to it. It is up to us to become stronger and
not let it forever drag us down. I still have my moments of sadness and I miss having Donnie in my life but I made a decision years ago that I would not be defined by just one role. So the best advice I can give you is to be gentle with yourself as you heal. As time passes you will naturally create the roles that you are most comfortable with.
