Healing Support Tools: The Labyrinth

Posted on: May 31, 2023 | Posted by: Kathie Neff

Labyrinths represent a journey or path to our own center and back again. The labyrinth serves as a metaphor for life’s journey. —Healing Consciousness Foundation What is a labyrinth? There are many definitions for the word “labyrinth”. One simple way to explain it is “a series of circuitous paths that lead to the center and […]

“The relationship I always wanted….”

Posted on: May 30, 2023 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

Photo of my parents in 1961 in Córdoba, Spain – from their archives Medjool and I have just had a lovely 10 day “working break”, based mostly at my parents’ house in Céret in the Pyrénées Orientales, just inside France on the Franco-Spanish border. Now into their 80s, I try to get down to spend […]

Rollercoaster of Life

Posted on: May 29, 2023 | Posted by: Emily Vielhauer

This week, I attended the 8th grade field trip to our local theme park. I was assigned a group of kids to check in with through the day, but they didn’t have to be actively chaperoned. So, with an entire day to spend in the park I found myself on a few rides. Hold on […]

Ambition Loss

Posted on: May 26, 2023 | Posted by: Victoria Helmly

Because I am in a Ph.D. program, I get this question a lot: “what are you going to do with that?” or “what are you going to do when you graduate?” And, it is a normal question, and one I have probably asked many times to people who mention that they are in a degree-seeking […]

Form 632

Posted on: May 25, 2023 | Posted by: Gary Ravitz

I am not one of those people who is tethered to a cell phone, so, while the call had come in around 1 pm., I didn’t notice the message until nearly five o’clock. As soon as I saw it was from the “310 “area code, I assumed it was the Los Angeles law firm that […]

I wish I could better imagine…

Posted on: May 23, 2023 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

Photos my own – taken at Christmas 2022, on runs with my dad Sometimes I stop short in my tracks and realise with desperate sadness that I can no longer imagine what my life would be like with Mike were he still alive. In the last years since he died, I have lived through what […]

Grief and Circumstances

Posted on: May 22, 2023 | Posted by: Emily Vielhauer

I always miss Tony, but I found myself missing him at every turn this week.   Our youngest was denied a spot on the soccer team with his friends again this year. I cannot help to think if Tony were here, he would be in the unofficial Dad Club where these decisions are made. I […]

The “Write” Path

Posted on: May 20, 2023 | Posted by: Lisa Begin-Kruysman

I began writing blog posts for Widow’s Voice on October 1st of last year, nearly a year after the passing of my husband, Rich. I actually couldn’t remember when I’d started as the Saturday Poster (the fog is real) and it was only when I perused my archived posts that I realized I’d really had […]

What do Mother’s Day, Handy Men, T-shirts and Jazz have in common?

Posted on: May 16, 2023 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

Photo my own   You might well ask. Well, one answer, and the only one I have right now, is that these words, or words related to them, are on sticky notes, forming a dense, colourful and messy pile, worthy of investing in 3M. I am trying to reduce my use of sticky notes, but […]

Motherhood in May

Posted on: May 15, 2023 | Posted by: Emily Vielhauer

I am tired. For parents of school aged children, May is a special hellscape. Spring sports are in full swing. There are last minute school projects to complete. Field day for the elementary kids. Band concerts. Fifth grade farewell and last day hallway walks for my middle one as he closes out his last year […]

Happy Dog Mom’s Day

Posted on: May 13, 2023 | Posted by: Lisa Begin-Kruysman

“…in some magical way, time seems to stand still for our canines, and that they will love, need, and appreciate you, fur-ever.” With the passing of my father two weeks ago, I’ve been occupied with many family matters and trying to help my mother who is now one of the 800,000 people who become widowed […]

Grief fail.

Posted on: May 12, 2023 | Posted by: Victoria Helmly

After Boris died, I felt this need to in some ways carry on who he was, including his interests and passions. I knew that his love for science wouldn’t be one I could try to tackle, and I tried to care for his computer and techy belongings in the best way I knew how, but […]
