Cuando mi esposo de 50 a\u00f1os muri\u00f3\nhace casi tres a\u00f1os, me resist\u00ed seriamente incluso a que me llamaran viuda. Creo que me di cuenta de la\nrealidad la primera vez que tuve que marcar la casilla de &quot;estado civil&quot; que dec\u00eda &quot;viudo&quot;.<\/p><p>Recientemente, una nueva viuda de nuestro grupo public\u00f3 algo que me pareci\u00f3 fascinante. Explic\u00f3 y\ndefini\u00f3 lo que es una viuda de tal manera que pudi\u00e9ramos relacionarnos con cada frase. Me comuniqu\u00e9\ncon la autora y recib\u00ed su permiso para usarlo aqu\u00ed para que todos puedan beneficiarse al leerlo. Su\nnombre es Alisha Bozarth, y puedes encontrar su blog en www.alishabozarth.com. Ella escribe\nmaravillosamente, as\u00ed que visite su sitio y disfrute.<\/p><p>Lo que sigue es el art\u00edculo que particularmente quer\u00eda compartir con ustedes hoy:<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">Viuda.<br \/>Al principio, odi\u00e9 la palabra; despu\u00e9s de todo, \u00a1soy demasiado joven para ser viuda! Pero las Escrituras\nme recuerdan que las viudas son muy preciosas para Dios y no puedo despreciar lo que \u00c9l ama. Incluso\ncuando soy yo.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">\u00daltimamente, he estado reflexionando sobre lo que significa ser viuda. \u00bfC\u00f3mo puedo siquiera\ndescribirlo? Es tanto.... y sin embargo, tanta nada, al mismo tiempo.<br \/>Anoche, la viuda de otro pastor me envi\u00f3 esto, y aunque no lo escrib\u00ed, siento cada palabra tan\nprofundamente. Entonces, si quieres echar un vistazo dentro de la mente y el coraz\u00f3n de una viuda,\nsigue leyendo. Luego diga una oraci\u00f3n por cada preciosa viuda y viudo en su vida.\u00a0<span class=\"pq6dq46d tbxw36s4 knj5qynh kvgmc6g5 ditlmg2l oygrvhab nvdbi5me sf5mxxl7 gl3lb2sf hhz5lgdu\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/t25\/3\/16\/1f494.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc94\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" \/><\/span><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">La viudez es m\u00e1s que extra\u00f1ar la presencia de su c\u00f3nyuge. Es adaptarse a una vida alternativa. Est\u00e1\ncreciendo alrededor de una amputaci\u00f3n permanente.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">La viudez es irse a la cama por la mil\u00e9sima vez, y aun as\u00ed, la soledad no se siente normal. La cama vac\u00eda\nes un recordatorio constante. La noche ya no trae intimidad y consuelo, sino la sonoridad del silencio y\nla falta de conexi\u00f3n.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">La viudez es caminar por la misma casa en la que has vivido durante a\u00f1os y ya no sentirte como en casa.\nPorque \u201chogar\u201d incorpor\u00f3 a una persona. Y no est\u00e1n all\u00ed. La nostalgia llena tu coraz\u00f3n y el conocimiento\nde que nunca volver\u00e1 te persigue.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">La viudez es ver todos sus sue\u00f1os y planes que compart\u00edan como pareja derrumbarse a su alrededor. El\ndoloroso proceso de buscar nuevos sue\u00f1os que solo te incluyan a ti equivale a escalar el Monte Everest.\nY cada peque\u00f1a victoria de crear nuevos sue\u00f1os para ti mismo incluye un nuevo matiz de dolor porque\nsu muerte te impuls\u00f3 a este camino.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">La viudez es cuestionar todo lo que cre\u00edas saber sobre ti mismo. Tu vida se ha moldeado junto con la de\notros y sin ellos tienes que volver a aprender todos tus gustos, aficiones, miedos, metas. El renacimiento\nde una nueva persona te enorgullece y te rompe el coraz\u00f3n al mismo tiempo.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">La viudez es ser un extra\u00f1o en tu propia vida. La desconcertante sensaci\u00f3n de observarte a ti misma\ndesde fuera de tu cuerpo, siguiendo los movimientos de lo que fue tu vida, pero estando separado de todo ello. No te reconoces a ti misma. Tu vida anterior se siente como un vapor desaparecido hace\nmucho tiempo, como la niebla de un sue\u00f1o, comienzas a preguntarte si sucedi\u00f3 en absoluto.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">La viudez es la iron\u00eda de saber que si esa persona estuviera aqu\u00ed para ser tu apoyo, tendr\u00edas la fuerza\npara afligir a esa persona. El pensamiento te retuerce y te confunde. Si solo estuvieran aqu\u00ed para\nabrazarte y hablar contigo, tendr\u00edas la tenacidad para enfrentarte a esta vida no deseada. Para afrontar\nla ardua tarea de seguir adelante sin ellos.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">La viudez es perder a la \u00fanica persona que realmente podr\u00eda entender lo que hay en tu coraz\u00f3n para\ncompartir. La broma graciosa, el incidente vergonzoso, el miedo que te obliga o la frustraci\u00f3n que te\ntienta. A cualquier otra persona, tendr\u00edas que explic\u00e1rselo, y eso es demasiado esfuerzo, as\u00ed que te lo\nguardas para ti. Y la soledad crece dentro de ti.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">La viudez es una lucha con la identidad. \u00bfQui\u00e9n eres t\u00fa sino su c\u00f3nyuge? \u00bfQu\u00e9 quieres hacer sino las\ncosas que planearon juntos? \u00bfQu\u00e9 marca quieres comprar sino la que compartieron durante 20 a\u00f1os?\n\u00bfCu\u00e1l es tu prop\u00f3sito si te quitaron el trabajo de invertir en tu matrimonio? \u00bfQui\u00e9n es mi compa\u00f1ero\nm\u00e1s cercano cuando mi otra mitad no est\u00e1 aqu\u00ed?<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">La viudez es sentirte inquieta porque perdiste tu hogar, identidad, pareja, amante, amigo, compa\u00f1ero\nde juegos, compa\u00f1ero de viaje, co-padre, seguridad y vida. Y est\u00e1s a la deriva con un destino\ndesconocido.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">La viudez es vivir en un estado constante de a\u00f1oranza de la relaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s \u00edntima. Sin mano para sostener.\nNing\u00fan cuerpo a tu lado. Ning\u00fan socio para compartir tu carga.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">La viudez es estar solo en una multitud de personas. Sentirte triste incluso cuando est\u00e1s feliz. Sentirte\nculpable mientras vives. Es mirar hacia atr\u00e1s mientras avanzas. Es tener hambre pero nada suena\napetitoso. Cada evento especial se vuelve agridulce.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">Si. Es mucho m\u00e1s que simplemente extra\u00f1ar su presencia. Es convertirse en una nueva persona, lo\nquieras o no. Es luchar contra cada emoci\u00f3n que la humanidad pueda sentir en el mismo momento y\ntratar de funcionar en la vida al mismo tiempo.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">La viudez es fragilidad. La viudez es fuerza. La viudez es oscuridad. La viudez es renacer.<br \/>La viudez... es un cambio de vida.<\/p><p>Mientras le\u00edas, \u00bfte identificaste con estas descripciones? \u00bfC\u00f3mo defines la viudez?
