Here Comes Everybody

May 24, 2023 by Kathie Neff Leave a Comment

table awaiting guests in a restaurant

When my children were little, our youngest son always seemed to make a friend wherever he went. The library, in the aisles of the grocery store, or even while waiting for a prescription at the pharmacy. He was wired for seeing children in his world as “little-while friends.” When I attended Camp Widow, not long […]

Camp Widow Serendipity . . .

March 22, 2023 by Kathie Neff Leave a Comment

Hands holding one rock each with the word "Integrity" painted on each rock.

… a story. It was September of 2022 in Denver at the local community college. A widow, finding no support options in Mississippi, arrives via a road trip where Soaring Spirits is offering a one-day program for widowed people. What was she thinking when she arrived? She did not know a soul and discovered the […]

How Lucky Are We?

View from the last row of a conference room at Camp Widow.

The Wonder of a Camp for Widowed People (the sequel) It is truly a wonder that a camp for widowed people exists! In October 2021, after I attended my first camp, I wrote about it here. This is the sequel. Camp Widow is a safe place created by widowed people for widowed people. A place […]

What is resilience? the Sea asked the Rock   Ask the tree the Rock replied   What is Resilience? the Sea asked the Tree   We are it the Tree replied Sky, Tree, Plants, Rock, and Sea   each in our own way. Keep going.

Social Media Inspiration

January 24, 2020 by Bryan Martin Leave a Comment

After awhile, our friends and family don’t get the daily loss reminders we do. I get these strong urges to post on social media and remind them but those posts have evolved into a way to try and help anyone who needs it. This week, as I sit in my car, I just started writting….. It’s been almost 2 years since Clayton passed away. Sometimes it…

Farewell 2019 and Readers

January 2, 2020 by Mari Posa 1 Comment

I am finally saying goodbye to another year without my Husband. For me, 2018 and 2019 have been the most difficult years of my life. As I close 2019, I want to let you all know that I will be no longer writing blogs anymore.    For 2020, I need to focus on my health, my child and trying to get back to who I once was. In all honesty, my health is…

My Time in a Bottle~

January 1, 2020 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

This is the eve of what the world celebrates as New Year’s. But, since Time has ceased to hold any meaning for me since Chuck’s death, I’ve taken it upon myself to designate my New Year as beginning on April 21; the anniversary of Chuck’s death. That’s the time when I reflect on whatever needs reflecting upon. It’s when I do a self-check, and it’s…

I Choose to Believe

December 14, 2019 by Bryan Martin Leave a Comment

A week ago I was given an opportunity at a big event to share with my essential oil community about inclusion, community and growth. It amazes me what has come into my life in the past year. Part of my oil journey is the loss of Tin. I share about him in every speech I give. I share about Soaring Spirits and I share about the widowed Facebook…

Not What you Think~

November 20, 2019 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

I wish I could post the meme here that had me snorting water through my nose I laughed so hard. Alas! I keep getting an error note, so I’ll have to describe it and you envision it for yourself, okay? The meme was 3 shrouded in black figures, riding one of the old timey merry go rounds. The kind made of metal, and you’d hang on desperately as…

Caretaker

November 3, 2019 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

I’ve always felt that, 5 years after Megan’s death, I wouldn’t feel like a widow anymore.  Not counting those first few months, when I swore up and down that my life was over and that I would never, ever move forward or be able to love again, I consider myself very realistic.  I have a stable career. Shelby is and always has been…

Movies in my Life~

September 4, 2019 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

It seems that my imagination…what goes on in my mind to help me manage this life…has ramped up. Almost any situation I encounter has a counterpart from various movies I’ve watched over the years. The big picture of all of this is me in the middle of a romantic comedy. I’ve always loved watching romcoms. Chuck used to watch them with me.Within…

Everyday Courage

August 4, 2019 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Being afraid and doing it anyway. That’s what they say courage is all about. I’m sure most people don’t see themselves as courageous. I think because the idea of being afraid and doing it anyway is often associated with enormous, heroic action. In fact, I would pretty much consider myself the opposite of courageous and always have. I get all…
