Follow the Yellow Brick Road

November 11, 2018 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

This past weekend Mike and I attended Camp Widow Toronto. We helped out with a lot of things this year, from leading panel discussions and groups, to building the enormous sign of HOPE for the banquet and working with Michele to plan the message release around it. I also hosted my creative workshop again, for the second year, which was an…

Killer Lonliness

June 1, 2017 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

Last week in my nutrition course we heard some amazing lectures about Blue Zones. If you don’t know what Blue Zones are, they are communities in various places around the globe that share common lifestyle and environmental factors that contribute to their populations being among the longest-lived and healthiest on the planet. These areas were first…

Stepping out of the Vacuum

September 30, 2016 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Hi all, I’m filling in for Kelley today since she is at Camp Widow Toronto. She’ll be back with us next week! Until then, I’m sitting down to write who-knows-what to you, on the fly. I suppose the first thing that comes to mind right now is community. It’s been on my mind all morning. Not only am I missing Camp Widow Toronto, and all the…

Broken Hearts Club

April 24, 2016 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

For the past week, I have poured myself into the creation of my new grief workshop. It’s finally getting real now. Which is scary and exciting all at the same time. The fundraiser is over, and by the end, I raised $1700 to help with the creation of all of this. Amazingly, 95% of those donations were from widowed people. None of my close non-widow…

Inspiration

October 29, 2015 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

At work the other day I was chatting with one of the young ladies who works at the coffee shop across the way. I had mentioned my late husband in conversation and this girl, young enough to be my daughter, immediately expressed her sorrow for me and went on to tell me about her beloved stepfather who died five years ago. She said he had been her…

Widows Walk

August 6, 2015 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

I am fortunate to have many beautiful family and friends in my life. Today, though, I feel moved to express just how important all my widowed friends are to me. I know I would not be able to walk through my own life now without them.  The day Mike died, as we were making all those terrible phone calls, and just after that word “widow” had…
