This Pink Anniversary

July 4, 2018 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

Today, Tuesday, is an anniversary of sorts for me. It isn’t an anniversary connected to Chuck, since it happened after he died. And yet, it is entirely connected to him. Because today is the day, 5 years ago, that I picked up my new Ford Escape from the garage, and the man, I’d taken it to after buying it from the dealer. I took it directly…

A Waste of Worry

August 21, 2017 by Wendy Saint-Onge Leave a Comment

Last week I was anxious and annoyed (raging, actually) over the seemingly endless list of things I thought I could not do without Ben.  At the time, the top of my list of stressors was the fact that I was headed off to Camp Widow where I would be attending a Saturday night Masquerade Ball, and I realized there was no one to zip up my dress.  It…

The Missing Dress Meltdown

November 9, 2014 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

I’m completely devastated this week. There was a horrible mixup while I was out of town last week and I discovered that a dress was accidentally thrown out. Not just a dress – but THE dress which I have been wearing in every weekly self portrait I have taken for the past 7 months (shown above). It was the main prop in this year-long series about…

This~

July 2, 2014 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

I’ve been on the road for two weeks now with my daughter in this continuing Odyssey of Love.  Not necessarily by plan but happening nonetheless, we’re traveling the same roads my husband and I drove in our first year out on the road.  Not by plan only because all we know is that we’re headed north to Washington state, where we’ll turn East and…

Things that have Changed

January 23, 2014 by Amanda Wright Leave a Comment

I am sitting here, marvelling at how far I’ve come since March 1, 2010; I am a different person with the same heart. I can now look back and remember the sharp, stabbing grief of that day.  The insanity.     The weeks and months directly  afterward where I alternated between shrieking pain and dense fog; I rocked and cried or I floated…

The Blindside

January 12, 2014 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

I’ve been in a clay workshop for the past few days, and its mostly been a heck of a lotta fun. Each say we have worked with a different teacher, making sculptures, dinnerware, decorated tiles, and learning alternative techniques for firing clay (examples in the picture above!) It’s been a whirlwind of new and exciting creative ideas for me,…

Suicide Widow

January 9, 2014 by Richard Cox Leave a Comment

I am filling in for Amanda today. The current heat wave has knocked out her power! Amanda stay cool (get it?!) and I will try to stay warm!   Recently I have had a lot of suicide widows reach out to me on Widow’s Voice and facebook. “I have no one to talk to, I have no one that gets it. I can’t talk about the suicide to my friends or…

Turning Pain into Love

January 5, 2014 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

In 2012, when his death was so fresh, I needed to talk. About the pain, the fear, the agony, the anger, the loss, the accident, the future we will not have, the children we won’t raise, the wedding we won’t share… all of it. I wanted to crawl out of my skin with all the pain. I talked and cried almost every single day to someone about my pain. I…
