Who Am I?

Jake died in 2020.  For years and years up until then, I don’t know – ten years?, fifteen?, I had worked out anywhere from 4 to 6 days a week.  I was health conscious and knew that a regular exercise routine was crucial to both my physical and mental health.  It is now 2025 and I have worked out approximately 4 to 6 days per year since the loss of him.  Yes, you read that right “4 to 6 days per year.”  How does something that was once so important to me not even matter anymore?  Where did that part of me go?  Will it come back?  I read somewhere that extreme grief changes every cell in your body.  That is simultaneously fascinating and disturbing.  Who am I now?  It seems impossible to move forward without knowing where I am going.  I do not have the same passions, the same goals, the same dreams.  So much about me has changed that I don’t even recognize myself.
