Crying Feels Different Now

Posted on: August 4, 2021 | Posted by: Kathie Neff

Lately I’ve Been Thinking About Tears . . . . . . feeling them stream down my face and having the sensation that my tears are somehow different now. Rather than tears, they feel like mountain streams with inadequate dams to hold them in place. The tears come without warning and they flow in a […]

Covid Takes and Gives

Posted on: July 28, 2021 | Posted by: Kathie Neff

History Will Bear Witness History will bear witness to the terrible costs of the Worldwide Pandemic known as Covid-19 in the year 2020. In tallying those costs, nothing can compare to the loss of lives: 627,039 in the USA and 4.16 million worldwide to date. Over four million people–gone. The Covid Pandemic took husbands, wives, […]

Of Butterflies, Puppies, and the Dan Neff Dog

Posted on: July 21, 2021 | Posted by: Kathie Neff

The surprising journey of widowhood. Part of the widowed journey, as I experience it, is having to face new things. Some new things contain the kind of surprises you don’t want to receive. For example, if your partner always took the dog to vet, then the first vet visit on your own might surprise you […]

Both / And

Both / And

Posted on: June 30, 2021 | Posted by: Kathie Neff

Both/And thinking [the opposite of either/or thinking] recognizes the folly of assuming that the new will totally supplant the old. Seeing with Both/And eyes recognizes that two opposite realities can be integrated.

Missing our Papa on Father’s Day

Posted on: June 23, 2021 | Posted by: Kathie Neff

What happens on Father’s Day for the family whose Papa has passed on to another dimension? Is there a way to connect from afar? When my dad passed away in 1994 I wondered, with my siblings, how we could live in a world where he was missing. Each child whose father–or special person–has passed on […]
