My Husband Died and All I Got Was This Lousy Book

April 6, 2018 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

In July of 2011, my husband died, and I died too. Well, that version of me died. About an hour after his death, after I had made the phone calls to immediate family and a few close friends – from a random bathroom inside the ER part of the hospital, sitting on the toilet after having just thrown up from shock – I sent my first Facebook status…

Call Me if You Need ANYTHING

January 23, 2018 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Up until about age 30 or so, I was a fairly social creature.  I made friends easily, whether it be through work, spending weekends in the woods with groups, or wrenching on cars.  Through my twenties, not only did Megan and I make “couples” friends, but I had my own as well.  Friends that Megan appreciated herself, but really, they were…

The last couple of decades have been filled with career and intermingled with babies, followed by…

The Loneliness of Grief

November 13, 2015 by Rebecca Collins Leave a Comment

There have been a few instances over the past week or two where I’ve opened up to people and shared a grief-related feeling only to have them either change the subject or ignore me. Approaching the 2 years and 4 month mark, I’m very familiar with this experience.  As soon as that initial period of sympathy expires, whether it be a few weeks or a…

Going Walter Mitty-ish…

July 7, 2015 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

These are the facts I’ve accepted recently: Life without Chuck is, if I’m honest about it, painful and traumatizing.In spite of the fact that I fully engage with people daily, involve myself in activities, and travel as a life-style, which means I’m continually in new situations and places, I don’t feel invested in this new life at all.
