Your story, in six words
Are you familiar with the Six Word Story?
“A six-word story is an entire story told in six words. It is a short narrative that can have all of the emotional themes of longer stories—from funny to dramatic, sad to scary. It can be poetic or straightforward.”
Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. Others gave their own spin into the six-word novel - a personal twist to describe a life in exactly six words, sometimes called these Six-Word Memoirs.

“While these quick stories don’t have the classic beginning, middle, and end of a traditional storyline, they have a subject and verb that give the reader a sense of what’s happened and a bit of conflict.”

The truth:
MY husband passed, I'm lost, lonely
Hello @zipsara1941 and welcome to Mayo Connect. I am so sorry to learn that you lost your husband. Feeling lost and lonely is a common feeling of widows.
As this is your first post, I would like to invite you to share in the Loss/Grief support group. Here are some links to some of those groups:

Take one day at a time.
I pray God will guide me!
Mr. Washington was a man way ahead of his time. His words are SO relevant in these turbulent days!
