New Beginnings

Beginnings

July 9, 2018 by Staci Sulin Leave a Comment

It goes without saying that I miss Mike.  He was my life companion.  My best friend.  My lover.  My Soul’s mate.  He was my person.  The one who championed me.  He was the man who loved me to the depths of my Soul – from the depth of his own.  But, now he is dead.  And, I am here missing all that he was. To say that I miss his love is an…

Wanting Love

January 28, 2017 by Kaiti Wallace Leave a Comment

I feel like I feel too much and think too much when really I shouldn’t overthink the concept at all. Just flow with life and the new beginnings it may bring. Enjoy it for all that it is and could be. Instead though, I feel guilty and scared. Scared that if I allow myself to love again, that love will be taken away. Guilty that I have thoughts of…

Another New Year

December 31, 2016 by Kaiti Wallace Leave a Comment

I can hear the fire works from last years New Years Eve celebrations. They go off with a bang. Thoughts racing of families watching them with smiles and couples sharing kisses that would seal there love for the year ahead. Last NYE I sat alone on my bedroom floor, with photos sprawled in front of me. A pen in hand, writing letters to John…

Ghosts of Christmas Yet to Come

December 20, 2016 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Just before Christmas, in 2002, Megan and I met.  A few weeks later, and I was already invited to her family’s home for Christmas dinner and gifts.  I was accepted into their clan with open arms, and I’ve been a part of their family ever since.  I’ve been at Christmas dinner in 2005, not long after Megan’s brother died.  I was there in…

Mending Furniture & Hearts

October 16, 2016 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

I’ve had a couple of really beautiful, full-circle moments recently. The sort that have reminded me in such sweet ways how totally interconnected my old life and my life now still and always are. This past week, we finally got my couch moved into Mike’s house from the garage. And by my couch, I really mean Drew’s. I have been dragging this…

An Agreement with Death

October 11, 2016 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Hey readers! I’m filling in for Mike today, as he had something come up and was unable to write. He’ll be back with us next Tuesday, so until then, I’m here to wander through some of my own thoughts of late and see what bubbles up… Mike and I have spent the past few months moving all my things to his place, as many of you know. After a…

Because of the Love that came Before

October 9, 2016 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Yesterday was one of the most beautiful and hope-filled days I have been a part of since I began this entire widowed journey. We were in the woods, standing tall in the trees, three widowed people and a little girl who lost her mother. The setting itself was magic, and made even more-so when we heard of the significance of that place. For our…
