Stop Judging How I Mourn: A Widow And A Friendship

At sixty-one, newly widowed Tina Mason finds herself at a heartbreaking crossroads after the sudden loss of her beloved husband, Mitchell. As she grapples with the raw and overwhelming weight of grief, Tina is forced to confront not only the emotional aftermath but also the unfamiliar identity now assigned to her: "Widow." Her once-stable California life is now clouded with sorrow, memories, and an uncertain future.

But must grief be a relentless, solitary journey? Who says there's only one way to mourn? Is there a rulebook for how—and when—a grieving woman can move forward? And most poignantly, is love something now relegated to Tina’s past, or could it possibly await her in a different form?

These questions take on new meaning when an unexpected—but familiar—friendship blossoms from the most unlikely place: Mitchell’s funeral. What unfolds is a tender story of rediscovering love, navigating social expectations, and embracing emotional truth later in life.
