The loss of the loved one definitely breaks the left one’s heart.
Not a long after Justine McCabe lost her mother, her husband John Paul committed suicide. Obviously, her pain doubled.
McCabe spent three months mourning.
It seemed nothing could relieve her broken heart.

Her family and friends were so worried about her and suggested her to start exercise. She decided to begin her health journey.
On the day she started to exercise, she realized that she had to admit that she is overweight at 313 pounds. Her overweight didn’t matter. What mattered more was that she stopped taking care of herself.
“My husband’s death was a really heavy and horrible time.
It was worsened because my mum had died not long before, too. Having a loved one commit suicide and being in the aftermath of that is one of the most fearful, awful things you can go through,” Justine told Caters News Agency. “The 365 days of selfies was one of the first things I did; it started during my mourning period — the first one was horrible, I looked so lost and broken.

As she started to work out, she took a picture of herself every day to track her weight loss and after 1 year, 365 pictures, she had lost 124 pounds.
However, her story is not about losing her weight or having a nice body because appearance is not a source of happiness. She worked out to become healthier and be away with unhealthy food.
She is a mother of two and has been afraid to be a mother without her husband but she could face her fear and even do parasailing, skydiving, and cliff jumping.

“I knew if I could survive living without my husband and mum, then I should push my boundaries and limits to face all fears I had, to live a life they would be proud of.”
I admire her. She is one of the bravest humans I have ever known and I’m sure that she could do anything.
