Damned Either Way

October 20, 2018 by Bryan Martin Leave a Comment

So I missed a week. I didn’t have a blog post for last week and I felt bad like I had let a bunch of people down in some way. I mean, I know it is a voluntary thing but I don’t like missing deadlines and I don’t like making an excuse. I create pressure that doesn’t exist. The sink is full of dishes. The carpet hasn’t been vacuumed. I…

The Silent Missing

October 12, 2018 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

Oh, the sadness of October.  My wedding anniversary.  Followed by our honeymoon anniversary, just days later,  and then Don’s birthday, just days into that.    October 27th we married.  In 2006.  Its toward the end of the month, and its true what they say. The build-up to these milestone days, is often worse than the actual day itself.  …

To My Beloved Husband

October 10, 2018 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

To my beloved husband, Chuck D, as we approach the 6th anniversary of your memorial service, which we held 6 months out from your death… I know I did everything as perfectly as I could in those few short weeks between finding the cancer, our hospice time, and your death. I know this more than I know anything else in my life. And yet… Doubt…

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…

Kids Talking About Death

October 4, 2018 by Olivia Arnold Leave a Comment

Last week my school took part in the Terry Fox Walk. I’m not sure how much everyone knows about Terry Fox but in a way oversimplified summary he was a young Canadian, who lost his leg to cancer in the 1980s. He had an artificial leg and set a goal to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He died before he could finish his…

Blurred Lines

September 27, 2018 by Olivia Arnold Leave a Comment

Grief is hard. There is no denying that. There are things that are so obviously associated with grieving that I know will be difficult: anniversaries, birthdays, things that remind me of Mike and the list can go on. When those moments happen (or are soon going to happen) and I feel upset or angry or sad I can clearly attribute it to grief. It…

The Never Ending Story

September 20, 2018 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

Is loneliness the never-ending story of widowhood? Does it end if we find another chance at Love? Does the loneliness exist, even then Because the loneliness is specific to that person, your person, who died? Is there ever a moment again When a widow’s heart feels that lightness of being, Once felt? Or is the heaviness, the ache, the sadness of…

The End of Motorcycle Season!

September 13, 2018 by Olivia Arnold Leave a Comment

If you’ve read my post from my personal blog from last year around this time you would know that I don’t like Fall. It’s my least favourite season. There is however a very redeeming quality for me at this time of year: the end of motorcycle season in Canada! I don’t know if I’ve ever fully mentioned it (it’s not what I want to focus on)…

The Phoenix and the Dragon

September 8, 2018 by Bryan Martin Leave a Comment

It comes in waves, those flames: the flames of fear and the flames of future, the flames of anguish and the flames of anger. You do your best to fight the fire but it is erupting from within you. As if you haven’t fought enough, you are constantly fighting with your inner beast but you never know whom. Is it your inner phoenix or is it your inner…

Coffee With the Wind

September 7, 2018 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

Our cats are still here.  They still sit in your recliner chair, and fight, and sleep, and Autumn still attacks Sammy for no reason.  Im still watching the US Open. By myself.  Roger Federer lost in a huge upset the other day, and Nadal won in an epic match that didnt end until 230 in the morning.  I actually reached over to my phone to text or…

If

September 5, 2018 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

If all things that are impossible Became impossibly real, And the unimaginable Became impossibly imaginable, And what is impossibly, unimaginably, inconceivable, Became entirely plausible. In a world where my fiercest and most impassioned pleas, Ringing forth from the depths of my shattered heart… Could be heard pulsating through the days and…

Getting Older Doesn’t Suck

August 30, 2018 by Olivia Arnold Leave a Comment

I originally wrote this post last year and have revised it a bit to reflect my current feelings. Happy Birthday to me! Enjoy! I hear it all the time…”another year older, urgh,” “I hate getting older,” “I hate my birthday and the reminder I’m getting old,” “getting older sucks.” I use to be one of these people. I cried on my 10th…
