Grief Is A Funny Thing

October 9, 2017 by Wendy Saint-Onge Leave a Comment

Just when I find myself moving along a little more effortlessly and thinking, “I’ll be damned.  I think I’ve got this handled” … it happens.  WHAM!  Grief jumps out of nowhere and slams me so hard in the chest that I find myself gasping for breath and thinking, “What the fuck just happened there?” (Or, “what the heck just happened there?” …

The Family I Never Knew I Needed

May 28, 2016 by Rebecca Collins Leave a Comment

I spent last weekend in Melbourne with about a dozen very dear friends.  These women have only been in my life for a couple of years now, however it feels like I’ve known them my whole life.

Approaching the 2 years and 4 month mark, I’m very familiar with this experience.  As soon as that initial period of sympathy expires, whether it be a few weeks or a…

The Sisterhood of the Travelling Widows

July 11, 2015 by Rebecca Collins Leave a Comment

There is something so very unique and special about the friendships that form between widowed people.  Last weekend I got to hang out with some of my favourite people – all widows who I’ve met since Dan’s death.  We’ve bonded over our mutual understanding of what it’s like to live this nightmare – through many nights of teary phone…
