A Story of Widowed Life

Posted on: February 22, 2023 | Posted by: Kathie Neff

as told by the Nasturtiums

Signs of spring are everywhere in Riverside, California. Today’s post is a story board, courtesy of a magical plant whose leaves are a story in and of themselves.

Studying a nasturtium leaf brings to mind images of fairies hiding beneath, or tiny creatures using the leaf as an umbrella amid a winter rain.

Widowed folk are found everywhere…we are “in process” and each day looks sightly different from the next, depending on circumstances.

Sometimes we feel completely alone…

yet, healing in difficult circumstances requires support…

At times, heavy problems loom large over us…

 

many nasturtium leaves

…reaching out to a widowed community helps.

One-to-One Support is golden.

The way we live and the way we grieve varies greatly from one widowed person to another; yet, we are connected by our common journey…

Keep growing. It is possible to bloom again & again…

Where are you this week on your particular widowed path?

There are many ways to reach out and find support.

We are here for you.

About Kathie Neff

Kathie Neff was widowed on April 15, 2021. She and her beloved husband, Dan, were high school sweethearts and enjoyed dancing and riding horses together. They lived in gratitude, hope and forgiveness for 50 years and nine months when Dan passed quietly late at night, surrounded by their seven children who, with Kathie, were caring for him in their family home.

Dan and Kathie have been a part of Camp Widow and Soaring Spirits International since its inception, as members of Michele Neff Hernandez’s cadre of helpers from the Neff family.

Kathie believes strongly in the strength and bond that is the gift of community and brings a heart of love for all who have been affected by death and dying.

Long live love. XO
