Widow's Voice

Just a Cup of Coffee

| Posted by:

Some days, it catches you breathless.

The missing.

The longing to know them now.

The desire to share your life today with them.

The wish to be able to just sit down at the coffee shop together and chat… 


There’s so much going on right now

So much good

So much growth

That I wish I could share

I wish we could look across a table at one another

And I could hear him say how proud he is of me.

 

I wish I could hear him tell me

That he knew it all along

He knew I’d get to where I’m going

Or where I am right now.

I don’t even wish for the life we didn’t get to have

So much as I just wish for coffee

And an hour to smile at each other and tell of our separate journeys

Like old friends.

 

About Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker

Mike and Sarah are both widowed and are now in a new relationship together sharing about their experiences of living on with grief and new love.

Mike lost his wife Megan in 2014 due to complications from Cystic Fibrosis. Together they had a daughter, Shelby, whom you will hear of often from Mike and Sarah as she embarks on her teen years.

In contrast to the lifelong illness they dealt with, Sarah lost her fiance Drew suddenly in 2012. He was a helicopter pilot and died in a crash while working a contract job across the country.

What you'll read from Mike and Sarah will be both experiences from their current life and love as well as the past... "To us, it is all one big story, and one big family. Now being over 5 years since we lost our partners, the fresher wounds are healed, but there are still fears, triggers, sadness... and there is of course still profound love. Love for the two people who brought us together and for each other. With their love surrounding us, we continue living, learning, and loving on."
