Widowed Emotions

WeWe – or Widows Encouraging Widows’ Exploits

Posted on: June 28, 2022 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

Photo by Jonny Gios – Coniston Water – on Unsplash I have been in the/my Motherland – England – these past days. It’s been wonderful. And it’s been weird. Though as I write, I have just crossed the border into Scotland at Gretna Green, and will soon be level with Lockerbie – forever imprinted in […]

Another Layer to the Levels In Life

Posted on: June 25, 2022 | Posted by: Bryan Martin

I’m happy to say that yesterday my boyfriend Devin and I got engaged! Yesterday I reached a new place in life that I have never been too before. Clayton and I never had the opportunity to get to this point. This weekend I am celebrating where my life has lead me, and the love that […]

Everywhere and nowhere.

Posted on: June 24, 2022 | Posted by: Victoria Helmly

You are everywhere and yet nowhere.  Sometimes, you are everywhere. I hear songs you love playing in restaurants and shops. I hear jokes that you would have told. At least weekly, I see silver Honda Civics in parking lots and in traffic. It still makes me pause. I see people wearing shirts you owned. I […]

I’ll Be Seeing You

Posted on: June 22, 2022 | Posted by: Kathie Neff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l44_n60QQ8 I’ll be seeing you just yesterday you reminded me of your presence when a monarch butterfly came so close to me…flew into the garage and looked around….at the story, when the paint brushes I need showed up in the most unlikely place . . . I am seeing you . . . In all […]

Spontaneous Travel

Posted on: June 20, 2022 | Posted by: Emily Vielhauer

One of the many ways in which I am different since Tony’s death is my ability and desire to be spontaneous, especially when it comes to travel. This last weekend I went back to the lake for a weekend away. Once again, there were 5 families and comprised of 12 kids and 8 adults. We’ve […]

Three Years of Pleasure and Pain

Posted on: June 14, 2022 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

Main image by Zygimantas Dukauskas on Unsplash Yesterday, 11th June, is the day that Medjool has named “La Journée du ‘Oui’” (“’Yes’ day”). It is the day when, three years ago, in 2019, he chose me. I had already chosen him. Not chosen by default, simply because my sample size of prospective Medjools was One, […]

Midnight Storms

Posted on: June 13, 2022 | Posted by: Emily Vielhauer

For the most part I’m not angry at Tony for dying by suicide and I just do it all without too much complaint. However, one-night last week had me on edge and anxious about our lives without him. At 1:30am, I am jolted awake by a train noise and the tornado sirens going off. There […]

The Weight of the Wait

Posted on: June 11, 2022 | Posted by: Bryan Martin

There’s a heaviness of my grief that I haven’t talked much about and that grows closer to the end of watching someone die. You know it’s coming. You know it’s soon. For a long time you pray you get to keep them for as much time as possible but near the end my mind changed. […]

The Potential of the Infinite Empty

Posted on: June 4, 2022 | Posted by: Bryan Martin

Each of us has a unique journey. Sometimes it can feel infinitely hard, sometimes infinitely lonely but I have found that the infinite space isn’t showing us how empty our lives are, it’s showing us we have the gift to fill our universe indefinitely. I came to this understanding through a lot of self-reflection and […]

No more life lessons, please.

Posted on: June 3, 2022 | Posted by: Victoria Helmly

I saw this TikTok the other day that made me go: “YES” (it was one of those that I repost on Instagram because I do not fully understand TikTok). In case you don’t want to watch it, the soundbite says, “I don’t want to learn any more life lessons! My character is developed! Go away!” […]

The Introvert in Grief

Posted on: June 1, 2022 | Posted by: Kathie Neff

An Underground River of Loneliness A yellow phone similar to this one – the wall version – hung in my kitchen for more than twenty years. In the age of invention, the wall model could be fitted with an extra long cord that stretched through the doorway allowing dish washing, eyes on kids, and baby […]
