Farewell 2019 and Readers

| Posted by:

I am finally saying goodbye to another year without my Husband. For me, 2018 and 2019 have been the most difficult years of my life. As I close 2019, I want to let you all know that I will be no longer writing blogs anymore. 

 

For 2020, I need to focus on my health, my child and trying to get back to who I once was. In all honesty, my health is not the greatest. I have heart issues, along with other medical issues. I ask that you all keep me in your prayers, as I am trying to be here for my baby girl. Today is my 33rd birthday, and I hope to have another 33 years to go. 

 

Thank you all for your beautiful, sincere, and thoughtful comments throughout my blogging experience. This community really helped me understand, that I am not alone in this. So many of you have shared your pain and sorrow with me, and I wish I could take it all away. Life is incredibly hard and lonely. But I know that it can also be beautiful. 

From the bottom of my heart, I hope you all have a better year in 2020. We are a community that bonds over brokenness, love, and pain. But we are a community that is stronger than the imaginable. 
As I write this last blog, I’m excited for someone new to share their story, in hopes of helping those with shattered hearts. 
Happy 2020, I wish you all love, strength, and hope!

About Mari Posa

I am a blessed woman with many shadows of darkness. I have met the love of my life, my best friend, and my soulmate. I have experienced motherhood and have triumphed in my career. I have built everlasting bonds, with people I love and respect. I consider myself blessed. With all those blessings, there are also shadows of darkness. I watched my father die as he held my hand and took his last breath. I lost many hopes and dreams as I buried the love of my life at the age of 31, just four months after burying my father. I left a stable and secure career for something much more significant, but then lost it all. I have seen immense beauty and extreme darkness in this life. I am a woman whose world was shattered into a million pieces, in what was supposed to be the best time of my life. Through love, learning, and therapy, I continue to move forward in this life with grief right beside me. I continue to honor those who have left this earth with pieces of my heart. I take one day at a time.
