Beaverton, OR USA

I decided to take a walk at Commonwealth Lake, across the street. I’m trying hard not to isolate and get out more. I found the heart hanging on a tree, and honestly started crying.
I was widowed 5 years ago (cancer took my husband at 43), with the pandemic, our only son moving out a few months ago, I have felt so hopeless of my own future, like my purpose in life is at the end, without having my husband and son at home needing me anymore. . This past week I’ve decided to make some changes, get help, try to move forward, and not isolate all the time.
It was overwhelming to find this heart, reminding me I’m still part of the wider world and a community of neighbors that still are out there to be a part of.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
