When the World Feels Too Big

 


Loss can hit us like a tidal wave, pulling us under and leaving us gasping for breath. In THE RAW TRUTH: A Widow's Journey, Autumn Brown takes us on an emotional rollercoaster as she navigates life after her spouse's death. Her story unfolds through heartache, anxiety, and, ultimately, a glimpse of hope, all conveyed through her raw and unfiltered perspective.

The book's fragility of Autumn stands among its most arresting features. She unreservedly describes the great anguish and fear she experienced following the loss of her husband. Suddenly, even leaving the house felt impossible, and the surroundings looked frightening and foreign.

This is about attempting to negotiate a new life without someone who was her defender and safe spot, not only a tale of sorrow. Though they have not gone through the same type of loss, many people can identify with this emotion.

The book also looks at something not usually addressed: how loss could trigger unanticipated anxiety. Reflecting on the great sense of uncertainty she experiences, Autumn writes about how her previously confident dog now appears nervous and afraid, too.

Her dread is confronting a world that feels different, even if it hasn't altered; it is not only about being alone. Anyone at a loss may relate to the anxiety of judgment from others, the anxiety of not being understood, and the anxiety of a new "normal."

Nonetheless, Autumn's trip is one of hope, even through all the agony. She tells us that brightness remains to be discovered, even at the worst times. Her thoughts about depending on faith and finding calm in little events illustrate that healing is doable, even if challenging.

THE RAW TRUTH: A Widow's Journey is available now on Amazon and its own website. Get your copy right now to relax, get ideas, and remember—you are not alone.

By midnight, he was dead—brain-dead before she had time to say goodbye. Even more terrible truths surfaced as Autumn battled the unexpected death of her spouse. She found he had been several times disloyal. Then, referencing one of the women as his "brother's soul mate," someone from his own family wrote on social media about the affairs. The treachery was far more profound. Autumn was struggling with the fall of her confidence, her marriage, and her position in the family, in addition to grieving a death. Autumn chose a more difficult road—forgiveness—instead of allowing resentment to rule. She needed to heal, not because it was simpl...
