Struggles

November 9, 2018 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

There are times in life when we struggle, or when the people in our life struggle, or when you are both struggling because you pass the stress back and forth like a virus, because you are both hurting and you just want to help each other.  And sometimes, you can’t.  You just can’t help much. Not because you don’t want to.  But because maybe you…

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…

Evolving

February 5, 2017 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Being that both Mike and I are both writers here, we do try to talk about our relationship as two widowed people, to share how this whole “chapter 2” thing can work. There are plenty of times this is awesome to write about – when we have things to share that show you how beautiful loving again can be. How beautiful it can be when two people…

Holding on Tightly~

January 20, 2016 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

In my heart, I’m carrying all the trauma from those 3 weeks when I went into auto pilot, (as we all do at such a time). Those 3 weeks where I was as present as could be to the best of my abilities as he and I said our goodbyes and my heart broke into pieces that were so huge and so small that they became invisible shards, but 3 weeks where I…

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…

Start Where You Are

July 26, 2015 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

I’m feeling a bit worn down today. I’ve been trying hard the past few weeks to keep a new schedule and really buckle down on getting work done. Working for myself has been the hardest possible thing I could have added to my life these past few years since he died. It never seems to get any easier… unlike the grief, I don’t know that it’ll ever…

Bringing New Love Home

June 28, 2015 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

I have gone through a myriad of emotions the past few days. Mike is down this weekend visiting me from Ohio… it is the first time he is meeting my family and a lot of my closest friends. It’s one of those big and bittersweet and totally surreal steps forward. Even more so because he is coming for a special event – an annual camping trip that…
