Go Love on Life

July 2, 2018 by Staci Sulin Leave a Comment

Widowhood does not come with a map.  In the beginning, there are no familiar landmarks and the curves on the road are unfamiliar.  As you set out on your way, you will spend a great deal of time bumping into things as you shimmy along, and that’s okay.  The important thing is that you are moving and forward momentum is always a good thing. …

Marry Me.

May 28, 2018 by Staci Sulin Leave a Comment

On May 25, 2016,  he asked me to marry him.  Then, he died before our wedding day.   I have sat here re-reading those two sentences again and again and again.  I just can’t seem to process the words the letters are forming.  My mind can not make sense of what I am reading.  My heart can not accept the words on the page.  I do not know if…

Once Upon a TIME

May 21, 2018 by Staci Sulin Leave a Comment

Still, After one year, six months, and six days, Almost every thought still begins with you. I am unable to live completely in the moment, And, I struggle to be present, Because, In my mind, I am endlessly travelling to a better place in time, Again and again. I return to this place, Where you existed once upon a time. ~Staci Sulin~     Time. …

Smile

April 16, 2018 by Staci Sulin Leave a Comment

He loved my smile. And, let me tell you, I smiled a lot because of him. I loved my life – when he was in it.  I wore my smile like a permanent accessory because my life was beautiful. Our joy permeated the air around us.  Our laughter echoed off every one near us.  Our words to one another were always heartfelt. We looked at each other with a…

His Girl

March 26, 2018 by Staci Sulin Leave a Comment

I still feel like Mike’s girl.  When he was alive, he’d tell perfectly good strangers about me.  Anyone he encountered throughout his day was sure to find out about me in short order.  The cashiers at the neighborhood grocery store knew of me because he proudly gushed about me while they wrapped the red roses he’d buy me every time he did his…

Malbec Part 2

March 5, 2018 by Staci Sulin Leave a Comment

Like a good vintage wine, last weeks blog, Malbec, requires a second harvest.  Over the last seven days, I have changed my mind about a few things and, now, I am offering up another tasting – this tasting is paired with hindsight.      A week ago, I shared my ritual of holding out my hands, searching and reaching for him.  In my own words I…

Strong on Your Love

February 19, 2018 by Staci Sulin Leave a Comment

I am tired of trying to be – ‘not sad’.   I am exhausted from the aching in my heart.  I am weary from recognizing Joy everywhere, All around me, And, still feeling hollow inside, I am aware of all the good in my life, My heart is grateful for what I have. So, I ask myself again and again, Why isn’t it enough? Why isn’t my life enough – without…

An Honest Love Letter: Saint-Onge style

September 11, 2017 by Wendy Saint-Onge Leave a Comment

I was scrolling through my personal blog recently, because I like reading what I wrote while Ben was still alive. Re-reading my words allows me to remember certain days with clarity.  For a moment I can close my eyes and feel myself back in my real life when Ben was alive.  And even though those days were terrible for him (pain, chemo, radiation,…

Trip Down Memory Lane

August 7, 2017 by Wendy Saint-Onge Leave a Comment

This week my daughter and I caught the ferry over to The Sunshine Coast in southern BC and toured Gibsons and Sechelt. Gibsons was home to the filming of the television show “The Beachcombers” from 1972 to 1990.  It was also the first hometown to Wendy and Ben from 1993 to 1997.  It’s where we lived when we got married, it’s where we…

Losing my ‘Widginity’

February 22, 2015 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Ok. So. A LOT of things have happened in the past week for me. And just days ago, one of the biggest new firsts happened. One I have wondered about and feared and dreaded for two and a half years. I can’t even believe I’m going to share this… like, PUBLICLY, but it’s part of the journey. So here goes.  I spent this past week up in the Alaskan…

Camping, Traveling and Wandering Thoughts

February 18, 2015 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

This week I’m all over the place, both geographically and emotionally.  It took me a week plus a few days to get from Camp Widow in Tampa, back here to Arizona.  In that time, I hit highs and lows, some of them to be so expected that it is given a name “Camp crash”.   Additionally, tomorrow would be my and my husband’s 25th wedding…

My Forever Valentine

February 14, 2015 by Rebecca Collins Leave a Comment

I’ve been back home, in Brisbane, Australia, for a couple of days now.  As it seems to go with most vacations, it’s so good to go away and then it’s so good to get home.  Getting off the plane after the 13-hour flight from LA and walking in to the arms of my wonderful parents, who came to town to collect me from the airport, was a good feeling.
