Odyssey of Love

On Living an Unconventional Life~

May 4, 2016 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

I have a difficult time defining my life to myself since Chuck died, never mind anyone else. Not that I need to explain it to anyone, but, holy shit, does it come up in conversation. Not just this widowhood, but my lifestyle. I full-time on the road, as many of you know.  In the last year I’ve taken more time off the road than I ordinarily would…

This Carrying~

April 6, 2016 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

A dear friend and Air Force widow sister said to me last weekend, in response to my endless questions to her about this grief (she’s 6 years out), and time frames and, oh, you know, everything…she said this to me, and I’ve reflected on it in the days since. It isn’t that it goes away. We just get stronger, and we carry it differently.Such…

And sometimes it’s easier to write in list form than prose form.  This past weekend I had a massive, huge, meltdown/purge/nervous breakdown. Included were earthquake size shakes throughout my body, shallow breathing, sobbing, gut-wrenching…

My intention is to stay out on the road this time.  I’ll visit friends and family, but will stay in my [email protected] Teardrop, PinkMagic, primarily.  I’ve missed the coziness of her, the cocoon that she is to me.This time in Arizona has been what I needed it to…

The Language of Goodbyes~

February 10, 2016 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

Goodbyes. This word. What does it mean to you?  And does it mean something different now than it did before your special someone died?As my beloved husband and I drove this great country of ours, I sought a different word to use. Goodbye sounded so final, as if we’d never again see whoever it was we were leaving. Family or friends..it was just…
