Mysteries of the Future

Posted on: June 16, 2025 | Posted by: Emily Vielhauer

In April, I started with a new therapist, and I’ve been seeing her consistently since our first session. Today we were discussing secondary losses towards the end of our session. Just as the bulk of my session was winding down, I hit on a new topic that was bigger than the 2 minutes we had […]

Memories Well-Coached

Posted on: June 14, 2025 | Posted by: Lisa Begin-Kruysman

Tomorrow is Father’s Day and I’ll take this opportunity to write first a little about the special bond my late dad, Jack, had with my late husband Rich.  There were some commonalities. My father’s middle name was Richard and they’d both served in the United States Navy, my dad also a member of the US […]

Me Day

Posted on: May 5, 2025 | Posted by: Emily Vielhauer

I took a last-minute vacation day last week to spend the day alone. The decision came after looking at the calendar and realizing almost every day between now and the end of school is occupied with kid activities. Once school is over, I’ll have three feral boys in my space all day, every day. I […]

My Evolving Relationship with Old Routines

Posted on: May 4, 2025 | Posted by: Grace Villafuerte

I started running again the past week. My usual route, 3 miles around the lake a few minutes from my house, and the neighborhood I grew up in. This has been my usual nightly running route on and off for the past 15+ years, though it’s a trail I have been traversing since I was […]

Back to Therapy

Posted on: April 28, 2025 | Posted by: Emily Vielhauer

In response to feeling overwhelmed lately, I have been buying books and exploring therapy options. It started with ‘The Let Them Theory’ by Mel Robbins a few months ago and I wrote a post on that. Now I’m reading ‘What Happened To You?’ by Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D. and Oprah Winfrey. I have made […]

Trying to Stay Young

Posted on: April 24, 2025 | Posted by: Gary Ravitz

Lola and I are invited to dinner one evening next week at the home of Michael and Hannan, who live in the neighborhood but are not, strictly speaking, our neighbors, as we live several short blocks apart. Lola introduced us. It’s been more than one year.  As best I can tell, Michael and Hannan would […]

Squad Goals

Posted on: April 7, 2025 | Posted by: Emily Vielhauer

A week ago, I was wrapping up a long weekend with my widow squad. Ten of us, who over the last 4 years, built a bond at Camp Widow San Diego. The Camp Widow format change was our catalyst to adjust how we show up for each other. For us, Camp had begun to serve […]

Croci in the Sun

Posted on: March 22, 2025 | Posted by: Lisa Begin-Kruysman

On Thursday, The First Day of spring arrived and after a harrowing winter season for much of the nation, it presented a much-anticipated seasonal milestone, if only on a calendar page.  I reside in Northeast Florida now, however, over much of my lifetime, I lived in New Jersey and spent a great deal of time […]

Let Them

Posted on: February 3, 2025 | Posted by: Emily Vielhauer

Last week I jumped on the bandwagon and listened to the book “The Let Them Theory” by Mel Robbins. I was intrigued after hearing a teaser online. Grief is usually the only self-help style book I pick up and finish. I downloaded the audiobook, set it at 1.4x speed and I was off to the […]

We Just Keep Rolling Along

Posted on: January 25, 2025 | Posted by: Lisa Begin-Kruysman

It’s been a “cold” few weeks here in Central Florida. But it’s all relative as they say. A friend that lives in Minnesota recently posted that it was minus 44 in her neck of the nation, but felt like minus 33. At the time it was 45 degrees in my area of Central Florida at […]

Take Off

Posted on: January 16, 2025 | Posted by: Gary Ravitz

These days, Thursday morning is ordinarily the time I finish writing these posts. It’s a reasonable goal that I seldom accomplish. I give the piece a “final” reading but never publish it immediately. Usually, I spend additional time revising or editing. For many reasons, I can be slow to put pen to paper.  Maybe I […]

A Wake-Up Call

Posted on: October 3, 2024 | Posted by: Gary Ravitz

I’ve mentioned before that I remain young at heart, despite advancing age. However, for a couple of weeks now, I’ve been experiencing an unusual, mildly alarming health issue that has shaken my confidence a bit.  I can’t get into the particulars, but it suffices to say I am considering how I change my wicked ways […]
