Celebrating With You

October 5, 2018 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

On Sunday, September 30th, I hosted a huge Book Launch Party Celebration in NYC, at West Side Comedy Club. A few years ago, when I was beginning to write this epic love and loss story book about the life and death of my husband, I did a fundraising campaign where lots of great people donated to help make my book happen. One of the things I promised…

Listen to their Hearts

July 8, 2018 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

I think I’ve always been interested in the ways that people celebrate or carry on the memory of a loved one throughout their lives. Something last time got me thinking again about this topic. Around this time last year, my new partner Mike took me to see Tom Petty on what ended up being his final tour. It’s not as though I knew this musician…

Through an Unthinkable Fire

July 1, 2018 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Last Thursday, all of my closest friends flew in from around the country for our annual trip to see each other. Since 2012, when Drew died, we have been making it a point to come from far and wide to spend a weekend together celebrating his life and our friendships. We call it Drewfest, and this year was our sixth year. It was the first year having…

Live New Today

January 1, 2017 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Here we are. A new year. I woke up feeling weird about that. I think mostly I am annoyed. Annoyed by all the expectation that society holds for everyone to have this wonderful sense of hope for what’s to come on this day. Annoyed that every widowed person out there has to deal with the weight of that expectation as they manage to crawl across…

Celebrating the Tiny Victories

October 23, 2016 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

This week, I went to the art museum by myself. This was a really big deal, or at least, I am deciding it is. Since moving to Ohio, I’ve been reluctant to get out on my own. I have only a handful of places I can even drive to without having to use a map to get me there. The shopping center by the house, the post office, the fancy grocery store 10…

The Accidental Mother, Part 2

May 8, 2016 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

I have the ironic honor of always writing on Mother’s Day, being the Sunday writer here at Widow’s Voice. Ironic because it always forces me to evaluate my feelings about a holiday I have mostly chosen not to celebrate since my own mother died when I was young. I hate this day, or at least, I mostly always have. But this post isn’t about that.

An Unexpected Reason to Smile

July 25, 2015 by Rebecca Collins Leave a Comment

  Yesterday marked the two year anniversary of the day I lost my husband to depression. It’s the hardest day of the year for me.  I miss him always and there are obviously times that are harder than others, like our wedding anniversary, Christmas and birthdays.  However while those days bring sadness, it’s his death anniversary that has me…
