Is this just jargon that describes widows/widowers adapting to loneliness and despair?

The "New Normal" = The " End of a Love Story".

The "New Beginning" = The "Beginning of The End"

I don't agree with the equal sign and canned it as a general statement. This may be ONE outcome but not necessarily the only outcome.

The journey of grief is not a flat land. It changes and evolves over time, and there are many possibilities down the road that the person who went through grief will have the power to choose.

I don't see the point of this exercise at all.

Venting doesn't need to make a point.

This is like convincing your opinion is better than mine :(

You're not in the new normal, you are still in a transition and everything is chaotic and therefore looks only bleak. At this point, you're still getting back on your feet. Better days will happen. Don't give up.

Love and Hugs,
