Pausing in the Badlands

A Day in the Life of a BadA** Widow

San Timeteo landfill site.

Tiny pause in the series for a Badass widow story.

 

Surprised older woman at the dump for the first time.

Long story, but I found out I can leave two bags of refuse each day at the dump!  I went!

A kind soul at the landfill office window gave me the required orange vest to wear. He also helped me find my way among the giant trucks. I looked like a tiny ant in my iM Scion!

The feeling I have after successfully completing a trip to the landfill, and successfully asking for help at the window and then following directions, is that I am DEFINITELY a badass widow!

About Kathie Neff

Kathie Neff was widowed on April 15, 2021. She and her beloved husband, Dan, were high school sweethearts and enjoyed dancing and riding horses together. They lived in gratitude, hope and forgiveness for 50 years and nine months when Dan passed quietly late at night, surrounded by their seven children who, with Kathie, were caring for him in their family home.

Dan and Kathie have been a part of Camp Widow and Soaring Spirits International since its inception, as members of Michele Neff Hernandez’s cadre of helpers from the Neff family.

Kathie believes strongly in the strength and bond that is the gift of community and brings a heart of love for all who have been affected by death and dying.

Long live love. XO
