My Favorite Song

June 18, 2018 by Staci Sulin Leave a Comment

Music was always playing in both our homes.  And, now there are certain songs that bring me back to a better place in time.  A time, when Mike was alive.  A time, when I was in love with a man who stood before my eyes.  Our familiar songs take me back to a place in time where he exists. A time, when he breathed life and love into me.  A time,…

The Last Dance

April 10, 2018 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Shelby is nearing the end of her 5th grade year.  In just a few more months, she will be off to middle school.  All I have known of her for most of her life is that she is an elementary school student. Through the sickness, health, additional sickness, and death of her mother, she has never skipped a beat, still bringing home 3.0 or higher…

The Dance

January 29, 2018 by Staci Sulin Leave a Comment

When Grief comes, Take her in your arms and dance with her.  Don’t resist.  Fall into her.  Move and sway in time with her.  Hold her carefully.

I have recently discovered the latest in a list of annoyances caused by being a … (I still choke on the word “widow”) … alone. As I write this post I am preparing to board a plane tomorrow for San Diego … Widows Camp.  There.  I said it.  I don’t fly back in until Sunday night so I have to write the post early. I’m sure that many of…

Dance Class

February 14, 2014 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

The first Valentines Day without my husband was torture. Everything that existed in the universe felt like a personal attack. The cheap-looking bears holding heart-shaped balloons on a stick at CVS, the conversation heart candies, the kissing and giggling couples around every corner. It all felt like one, giant personal attack on me and my loss.The…

Slow Dance, Last Dance

Slow Dance, Last Dance

So, here I am, writing my first blog right before Valentine’s Day.  Right before what would have been our 24th wedding anniversary. I’m getting ahead of myself, I know. I was going to introduce myself, give some back-story, and I promise I will.  But maybe, because of the timing of this first entry, I’ll give you a glimpse into the world that was…
