    I felt like I was failing at widowhood. I missed my husband, but no one knew that when they looked at me. They just saw a mom with blonde highlights going to yoga, picking up her daughter from school, buying groceries at Trader Joe’s. And now I was at a party with a date when I should have been home, grieving, all alone.I didn’t look like a widow. I wasn’t acting like a widow. But I felt like a widow.I guess I was just widowish.
