Widowed, But Never Alone (Anonymous)

Age: 22
Number of births: 2
Ages: 4 years and 2 years

I had my first son when I was seventeen. It took almost two years before I decided to change anything about myself as I weighed almost fifty pounds more then I had before pregnancy. Shortly after getting my body back I lost my husband to the war and was pregnant with my second child. I did everything I could to not loose the hard work I had done and stayed healthy. It is a long struggle and I am still trying to get my body back but I know that things can never be the same. My children keep me strong and fighting everyday.

    I am extremely sorry for your loss. I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to lose my man to the war. I am also a young mother and I think you look absolutely beautiful. Your breasts are perky and your tummy is flat. I love you tattoo, too. Stay strong, hun.

    You have a lovely body, I would never guess you had carried a baby (let alone gained 50 pounds in less than a year!). You are beautiful.

    Have you heard about the American Widow Project? (https://www.americanwidowproject.org/) There was a story about it in People magazine a few months ago, and I took note because we lost a friend in Afghanistan last September who had a wife and toddler (although I never got around to sending her the link…). I thought maybe you would appreciate getting in touch with people who completely understand your situation.

    I am very proud of your husband for making the greatest sacrifice of all. Your children will grow up knowing their father was a HERO. I am reading posts and looking at pictures. My wife is not happy with her after pregnancy body. I do not know how to help her with this. I thought I would educate myself with how other women feel. She would like to get a tummy tuck and I do not know if this is the answer. I think she is as sexy as the day we met. Does anyone of have any ideas? She is back to her pre-pregnancy weight how ever her breasts sag and she has the loose skin on her belly.
