I am still me

I am finding there are a few people out there who are forgetting that I am a person in my own right.
Yes, I am Nigel's widow.
Yes it is a horrible situation for me to be in.
Yes I would give every damn penny I have for things to be different.

But don't forget, I am still me, I am Anna, and I am still here. My life goes on. I don't want people to back off from me, or exclude me from things because they feel uncomfortable about what's happened.

Its not a situation I asked to be in, but I am managing it ok. At least I think so, and the girls seem to think so too.
