Your Death is a Pain in the Ass Replay

January 10, 2020 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

Kelley Lynn is spending the weekend away from home, so we’re posting this replay of one of her blog posts from 2016.  Enjoy!   Beyond the missing of you …..  Beyond the not having my best friend, my teammate, my lover, my all-things-in-life go-to person ……  Beyond not having our future to look forward to, or our today to live ….. …

Money Woes

September 13, 2019 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

I’m really broke. Again. I’m really tired of being broke. I’m really tired of talking about being broke. I’m really tired of typing and writing about being broke. Even when my husband Don was alive, we struggled financially. Everyday. But he worked and I worked, and we helped each other out. He started helping me out way before he moved in with me.

Oh My God! I’m So Sorry! I Just Heard…

October 7, 2018 by Bryan Martin Leave a Comment

Time goes on and life begins to settle. You think you are past the hardest conversations until you get a message from out of the blue… “Oh My God! I’m So Sorry! I Just Heard” These words come in a text message, a social media tag, in an email and, rarely, in a phone call. Mine came just a few minutes ago through Facebook. It’s one of…

The Forgotten

August 4, 2018 by Bryan Martin Leave a Comment

Seconds filled with thoughts turn to minutes and the minutes to hours. It’s only been 3 months so there isn’t going to be a whole day that I won’t be affected by losing you. In all honesty, I will never go a day without missing you. So why does it feel like everyone else has forgotten you? When you left, I was surrounded by family and…

3 Year Non-Anniversary

July 25, 2018 by Olivia Arnold Leave a Comment

Yesterday, July 25, is the third anniversary of our wedding without him. That’s three more anniversaries than I celebrated with him. We didn’t get to celebrate a single one. I try to imagine what we might be doing on our third anniversary but it’s hard to both predict and recall something that never once happened. Would we be going out for…

No One To Zip Me Up

August 14, 2017 by Wendy Saint-Onge Leave a Comment

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…

It Could be Worse

July 26, 2016 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

I’ve somehow made it through the past week without hitting critical mass.  I won’t say I’ve had my moments, but rather, that the past seven days or so have been one big moment, with little instances of calm peppered in.  Simply put, it was just a rough, overwhelming, busy, tiring week, the kind where you feel both accomplished and…
