I Love You Like I Love Mike

November 19, 2019 by Emma Pearson 1 Comment

A little over 6 months ago, at the end of April 2019, two months before my 15 year-old daughter Julia died by suicide, and 2 years after Mike my husband died, I met a man on a dating website. He’s called Medjool, after my favourite kind of dates. Big, chewy, tasty, sweet. Yum.  Since there seems to be some kind of annoying gender difference…

It’s Not Guilt, It’s Sadness

August 10, 2018 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

So it’s been 7 years since my beautiful husband left for work one morning, and never came home. Seven years since his shocking and sudden death. Seven years of living this life in the “after” of painful and life-changing loss. It’s a long time, and it isn’t. It’s forever, and it’s also ten seconds. In all of this time living with the death of my…

Falling out of Grief

August 6, 2018 by Staci Sulin Leave a Comment

I feel like this may need some sort of introductory explanation.  Suffice to say, that this entry is kinda sultry; but, more so, it is fairly profound – at least to me. ~Staci I have figured out how to love Mike -in separation. And, I am not talking about some superficial, makeshift love. I am talking about deep, pure, passionate love. The type of…

Easy To Love

July 19, 2018 by Olivia Arnold Leave a Comment

There’s this fairly new song called “Ain’t Easy”  where the main chorus sings, “loving you ain’t easy” after singing about the difficulty of “loving” and being with someone who is “fire then rain.” Quite simply, even though it’s a catchy tune, it makes me mad. It aggravates me because I thought of myself that way when I…

Planning Hawaii

July 5, 2018 by Olivia Arnold Leave a Comment

I’m all finished with school for the summer and heading to Hawaii with David! By the time this posts on Thursday I will already be there actually.  I’m really excited to go. We have a lot of exciting things planned to do. Planning the trip was easy with David because we were interested in the same activities. If he found an idea of something…

Now What?

June 25, 2018 by Staci Sulin Leave a Comment

With hindsight, I know that there is no way I could have better prepared for what has been required of me since Mike died.  Widowhood is something you have to live to fully understand.  There is no way to adequately explain this life in words.  It is  something that has to be experienced first hand to be comprehended.  This being the case,…

Weak at the Knees

June 4, 2018 by Staci Sulin Leave a Comment

How do I bring the girl he fell in love with back to life? I miss her. I am working on rebuilding myself. And, the new version of me is different. I am changed not by choice, but by design.           Not all of me survived his death.  But, the core of who I am and who he loved still remains.  So, here I am using the bones of my old self as…

Pretty Lucky

May 10, 2018 by Olivia Arnold Leave a Comment

I’ve heard that when you feel you are struggling with your writing it is because you are writing what you think you should write instead of what you truly feel. I can’t find the actual quote right now (it was much more eloquent than that) but that idea has been on my mind for a while. Since I saw it really. I’ve wanted to write and share…

Second Time Around

April 27, 2018 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

Does our soul get more than one soulmate?  Yes.  And no.  This is what I believe. ….  Our soul is perhaps the biggest part of our makeup, as human beings. It is what carries all the important stuff. Emotion, heart, love. I think that with life experience, age, and time, our souls change and alter some. I think after the death of a partner or…

Opposing Teams

April 13, 2018 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

I became a NY Yankee fan in the 1990s, when I went to NYC for college. It was the Joe Torre era, and baseball in NY was exciting. Going to multiple games at Yankee Stadium with college friends, it was tough not to fall in love with it. When I started dating Don, my late husband, he wasn’t really into baseball. He said it was boring, and asked me…

Hands

December 11, 2011 by Daniel and Abel Cano-Saenz Leave a Comment

A simple photo opportunity. A day in the sun. A day with the one I love.  Our hands. Proof that he is here for me. Proof that he exists here in my life. Proof that he offers his hand to me.  I sit here looking at this innocent photo that I took today.  My hand on his. His hand at ease. His hand already used to mine finding its way over to his. …
