Looking Back

Into the Fall

September 9, 2018 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Yesterday was the first day of the year to bring in an autumn cold snap here in Northeast Ohio, along with the remnants of the tropical storm that came through Florida last week. Since I woke yesterday, it’s been a slow, steady dripping rain… the kind where you can still open all the windows and feel the brisk air and hear the gentle drops on…

New Identities in Widowhood

January 7, 2018 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Here we are. A new year. An entire expanse of fresh time laid out before me… and a mixture of dread and excitement about what that means. As I’m reflecting and looking forward from this in-between space, I’m thinking on just how much has changed in my life in the past five years. In particular, how unreal it is that I have become so many new…

Summer Is Winding Down

September 4, 2017 by Wendy Saint-Onge Leave a Comment

Summer is winding down and I have no idea where the time went.  And when I say I have no idea, I mean it both figuratively and literally.  Figuratively, because the time has flown by as it always does, and literally because I cannot remember what I did for the last two months.  Honestly.  I feel like my brain doesn’t work anymore at all.  Is…

One Way Rider

July 31, 2016 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

It’s incredible what a song can do. I was driving home tonight, emotions already welling up in me. Moving in with Mike is probably one of the most bittersweet things to happen in my life since Drew died. And I hate that. I was over at my place picking up a few things, walking around outside for a moment in the quiet of the evening, and a great…

Grieving the Grief Years

August 2, 2015 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

I had an all-out breakdown a few days ago. The kind I haven’t had in at least a year. I am chocking it up partly to hormones and the damned full moon, but also to everything else going on. Nothing is settled in my life. Most of the time I am used to this, and I ride the waves well. But sometimes it piles up. My career as an artist is sort of like…

Dark and Hidden

February 3, 2014 by Cassie Deitz Leave a Comment

I am honest on this blog in that I don’t lie about anything I write. Ever. But I don’t shareabout everything here. I don’t talk about the problems in my marriage with Dave and I don’t talk much about my dating life now. There are some things I just don’t want to write about here. But what would it be like if we all had a moment or a day or a week…

To Be Changed

February 2, 2014 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Last night just before going to bed, for some reason I felt called to go back through some really old journal entries from the years leading up to when I met Drew. I don’t always pay attention to those little cues, but last night for whatever reason I did.   I smiled to read some of the entries about our first days together… about how safe and…
