The Kitties Can’t Come

February 7, 2020 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

A large part of the story of Don and Kelley is our kitties. He loved animals, and over our years together, we had our little family of kitty cats. Isabelle and Ginger are over the rainbow bridge now, but I still have Autumn and Sammy, who we adopted together from a rescue shelter in NJ. These 2 cats have stayed with me all throughout losing Don to…

For The Love of Dog

November 12, 2019 by Emma Pearson Leave a Comment

After Mike died – indeed before he died, when he was ill – I know I set a clear intention to carry on living fully afterwards. In truth I never questioned whether or not I’d want to carry on living. For the last many decades, for as long as I can consciously remember being aware of such things as “choice”, “intention”, “the miracle…

Going With It

November 16, 2017 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

The big news is, we found a place to rent here in Kona that has agreed to the dogs. It’s only up the block, so moving should be relatively easy. It’s expensive…but thankfully my boyfriend is with us for all the support both emotional and financial that it will entail.    It has not come easy. It took weeks for the owner to come around to us…

Rapid Fire

October 13, 2016 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

I’m not sure how long I will be able to continue to write here at Widow’s Voice. It breaks my heart to think that, and to write that, but various things are moving at a seriously rapid pace and I can barely keep up.  I hired an attorney to walk me through the foreclosure. And I’ve already purged a lot of my stuff so hopefully that process…

My Life With Grief

March 31, 2016 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

I write a lot about how strange and even unrecognizable my life is now. I can’t explain exactly how I got here, but I can tell you a little about what it’s like, just over three years after my husband died.   I wake up every morning thinking of Mike. Reminders of him are everywhere in my house, on this island, and in my heart and mind. So in…

Death Day

February 18, 2016 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

My friend and fellow widow Karin here in Kona was talking about her husband’s death day last month…the conversation went on before I really realized how that term flew by so clearly and succinctly without us having to explain what that meant, though I hadn’t used it before. Death day. That day, we all know; that day, we all remember, that…
