Syncopated Grief

October 15, 2019 by Emma Pearson Leave a Comment

Today is one of those exquisitely beautiful, bright autumn days. With temperatures that would feel “just right” on a mid-summer’s day, but with the added benefit of a gentle breeze to doubly kiss my bare skin as I sit now, in the garden, writing this piece. I have been out on a “long run”. The kind of “long run” I do in the run-up to…

Ramble On

November 7, 2017 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

On February 5th, 2015, I wandered into a Hotel in Tampa, Florida, not quite sure if I was supposed to be there.  I had lost Megan less than three months prior, and I hadn’t honestly accepted the fact that I was now a Widower.  In the year leading up to it, I had spent more time sitting next to my dying wife than anything else.   Like many of…

The Question to Ask our Pain

September 24, 2017 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Five years ago this week, I turned 30. My fiance had died just 3 months before, suddenly, and I was a field of shrapnel spread out for miles upon miles. That week five years ago, I decided not to give up my 30th birthday. I decided instead to honor it, because I would only turn 30 one time and I still deserved honoring. With that, Drew’s mom and…

Of course you’ll always miss your husband….. It’s the but that you can read into those little dots at the end of that sentence that contain the crux of what the person is really saying. ….don’t hang onto the grief…. ….it’s your decision to be happy or not…. …..if you’re still struggling with grief, maybe you should go on…

Into the Woods

December 19, 2015 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

 Patience. I’m trying  my hardest to have some lately… with myself, with change, with pain. It’s easier said than done. I am beginning to realize that it is going to take a lot longer to adjust to moving somewhere so far away than I’d imagined. Especially while carrying my grief on my back wherever I go. No matter how much good there is…

Questions?

February 4, 2014 by Kerryl Murray McGlennon Leave a Comment

Where is…?Who put that there…?When…?Why is……the bottle of brown sauce in the crockery cupboard?Did I put it there… or did John?  I don’t remember doing that… but I don’t remember seeing John in the kitchen while I was cooking dinner, either.  It must have been me that put the sauce in there, but have no recollection what so ever…
