Celebrating With You

October 5, 2018 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

On Sunday, September 30th, I hosted a huge Book Launch Party Celebration in NYC, at West Side Comedy Club. A few years ago, when I was beginning to write this epic love and loss story book about the life and death of my husband, I did a fundraising campaign where lots of great people donated to help make my book happen. One of the things I promised…

Another Year Over

December 30, 2014 by Kerryl Murray McGlennon Leave a Comment

Another number away from the “2012” in which Ian died. One thing I read late last year was people doing a ‘word’ for the year, not New Years Resolutions, which seemed a far more sensible way to go than dragging out the perennial resolution that never gets stuck to. The word that stuck out to me at the beginning of the year was Faith. Not religious…

Snowglobe

December 26, 2014 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

I did it. I survived, and sometimes even thrived, Christmas day. It is now Christmas night, and I sit here in my parents dining room on my laptop writing this blog. I am staying with them for 10 days over the holiday, in Massachusetts, away from my usual NYC apartment and life. I love being here. I love my family. However … and there is ALWAYS a…

The Beginning to the End

December 23, 2014 by Kerryl Murray McGlennon Leave a Comment

I received the parchment last week for a course I started about 18 months ago.  No formal graduation, just a small package in the mail.  Additional studies over and above my university studies. It’s the first thing I’ve done from beginning to end since Ian died.  Wholly and completely without him.  Concept to completion. I started it because…

Still, Life

November 23, 2014 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

week has been a whirlwind for me. I met a fellow artist who, upon seeing my photographic series on grief, asked to write this feature about it for a creative blog he writes for. That one blog post at this point has led to around 6 other blogs contacting me to share my story and the project… which has resulted in hundreds of people sharing the…

That Which Doesn’t Kill Me

November 16, 2014 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Yesterday was one of those days in this after life that was both incredible and heartbreaking all at once. Earlier this year, I started going to the gym and took up Crossfit to try and get into shape. I hadn’t done anything for over a year since he died and was really out of shape. Not to mention I’ve never really been athletic my entire adult…

Homeward Run

June 24, 2014 by Kerryl Murray McGlennon Leave a Comment

I’ll keep on the theme Soaring Spirits Loss Foundation has run on their facebook page for International Widows Day – what I’ve achieved since Ian died.   Well, working on achieving. One of the big changes I made was to go back to school.  I knew my job would end about 12 months after Ian died, and I opted to work towards a change in…

I Am Not What Happened to Me

May 25, 2014 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

A week ago, I had a really big moment. It was defined the by a very simple difference in word choice. It was not something anyone else would have noticed or defined as big – unless of course you yourself are widowed perhaps. While at the gym, one of the other girls in class asked if I was married and had kids. And I said – in this effortless,…

Capturing our Stories

January 19, 2014 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Today I read a beautiful article that really got me thinking. During a commercial photo shoot for a show on the Oprah Network – near the end of the shoot – one of the actors requested the photographer to take a few more shots for him. As he stepped back onto the backdrop, the actor began to sob. The photographer captured about a dozen or so shots…

Facing my Fear

September 8, 2013 by Richard Cox Leave a Comment

I suffer from fear.   A lot of it I think is normal for what I’ve been through.   Fear of being alone for the rest of my days. Fear of having my heart broken. Fear of falling in love and having him die. Fear that something terrible will happen to someone I love and I’ll have to start this grief process all over again. Fear that I am getting…
