missing him

Malbec

February 26, 2018 by Staci Sulin Leave a Comment

Since you died I feel like I am masquerading in someone else’s life.  The likelihood of outliving you was always in the back of my mind, but it wasn’t something that I prepared for because I naively thought we had “the rest of our lives” ahead of us.  I honestly thought that we had at least twenty more years together.  And, because I blindly…

To Know Grief is to Know Love

December 14, 2017 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

I can’t tell you how I manage to pull off a post every week, or how I have done so for the past three and a half years here. I get asked that a lot. Some weeks I know exactly what I want to write. Other weeks I feel dry…uninspired, lackluster and done. Then suddenly something will move me. Feeling overcome with emotion in a moment, a vision of…

Junk Mail – Repost

September 28, 2017 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

While I am away I am reposting a blog from 2014. This still happens too. Today I grabbed the mail from the mailbox, saw it was mostly junk, and tossed it on the floor of my car as I sped off downtown for a few errands. Stopped at a stoplight I looked down and noticed a flyer from our local vision center which said brightly, we miss seeing you!…

Say Goodbye to the Fridge

July 6, 2017 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

I got a new fridge this week. Well, new to me. My old one just stopped defrosting itself and a repairman told me it wasn’t worth the cost of repair. So once a week we were standing there with a hairdryer. A friend of mine was redoing her condo and needed to get rid of a fridge, so I hired a handyman to move it to my house and take the old one to…

Visiting with Old Memories

March 12, 2016 by Rebecca Collins Leave a Comment

This Wednesday marked my husband’s 37th birthday.  This was the third I’ve had to mark without him and surprisingly, I found it to be somewhat different to the past two.    I woke up thinking about what we might have been doing if he were still here.  On his last birthday, his 34th birthday, I’d snuck out of our room the evening before and…

A Different Experience of Missing Him

February 26, 2016 by Rebecca Collins Leave a Comment

I’m interstate at the moment celebrating a dear friend’s 40th birthday. She lives on the other side of the country (I live in Brisbane, Queensland and she lives in Perth, in Western Australia).  I’ve been here to visit a number of times now, it’s a great opportunity to have a holiday and see another part of Australia while catching up with my…

I Want To Share This With Him

February 13, 2016 by Rebecca Collins Leave a Comment

It’s been two-and-a-half years in and the grief can still sneak up and surprise me in ways that I’m not expecting… I recently decided to go back to university and do some further Post Graduate study in my career of public relations. I took a step back when Dan died unexpectedly from depression but a few months ago I started feeling ready to…

The Tangible Taste of Missing Him

September 5, 2015 by Rebecca Collins Leave a Comment

  I’ve had a lot of those moments this week where the missing of Dan has been sharp and hard and tangible.  I’m always conscious of him not being here – even when I’m laughing or having fun, there’s always that subtle sense of his absence.  I never forget.  However time has gently smoothed some of the corners so that the missing of…

That Which Is Not Here~

March 11, 2014 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

We spend our lives with an awareness of our physical bodies. We dress our bodies, we move our bodies. Our hands hold other’s hands. Our arms hug. Our lips meet in exquisite kisses. Our lips smile and laugh. Our eyes sparkle as we gaze upon life and our loves. Our feet dance, in rhythm or not. Physical presence is a big deal. It was very much a big…
