Family Vacation

October 10, 2019 by Mari Posa 1 Comment

I recently came back from taking my daughter to Disneyland. It was a bitter and sweet vacation. It was the first time we vacationed without my husband. It was very hard to not have his physical presence with us. I decided to take my daughter to Disneyland because that is something my husband and I had talked about. I am aware now, that you can’t…

One Word

October 31, 2018 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

I was asked recently to speak at an AA meeting in my old community in NJ. I’ll be traveling there at the end of this week. It’s been 3 years since I’ve connected with family and friends there. Family and friends who knew Chuck, who knew me when I was with Chuck. Memories will hit hard. I’m not trying to set myself up for that; I’m merely…

Half the Road of the First Year – Just Let It Flow

September 15, 2018 by Bryan Martin Leave a Comment

Tomorrow marks 6 months since Tin has passed. How am I already here? How does time move so slowly and so quickly at the same time? Honestly it is Life’s biggest blessing and curse. As I look back at these 6 months, I see a new road behind me that I have paved on my own. Of course there have been others to help me through the thick brush but I had…

How Is This My Life?

August 24, 2018 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

Today I went to the post office to send off multiple copies of the book that I wrote about my husband’s sudden death, our love story, and my life in the aftermath. Then I went to the YMCA and took another pool / water aerobics class, followed by physical therapy for my neck and shoulders because I developed arthritis and bone spurs in my neck due…

Weightless

July 20, 2018 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

I just returned from my 500 billionth Camp Widow. Okay, I’m exagerating, but not by much. Besides, I lost count long ago on how many times I have been honored to be a presenter at this amazing healing place called Camp Widow.  July 13th was the 7-year mark of Don’s death. Camp Widow began on July 13th. Friday the 13th. Nothing incredibly weird…

Planning Hawaii

July 5, 2018 by Olivia Arnold Leave a Comment

I’m all finished with school for the summer and heading to Hawaii with David! By the time this posts on Thursday I will already be there actually.  I’m really excited to go. We have a lot of exciting things planned to do. Planning the trip was easy with David because we were interested in the same activities. If he found an idea of something…

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…

Brave Love

February 15, 2015 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

I’m writing you tonight from my hotel room in Seattle – en route to a four-night stay in Alaska. I hadn’t really given any thought to what I was going to write today for this post, as I’ve spent the better part of the day running around like crazy. It could have been about the usual stuff of Valentine’s Day… like how bitchy I’ve been all week…

Not this…But, oh yes, This

February 4, 2015 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

Grief illiteracy has been on my mind quite a bit in the last couple weeks.   Even if you don’t know that term, you’ll know what I mean when I tell you about my face-to-face with it.  And you’ll nod your head and say to yourself (or to the room in general)….oh, yes….I keep a personal blog in addition to writing for Widows Voice, and I have for…

Traveling My New Path

January 31, 2015 by Rebecca Collins Leave a Comment

As I write this, I’m sitting in a plane, flying from Los Angeles to New York.  I’m back in the USA for Camp Widow East next weekend and decided to make a holiday off it, fulfilling a life-long dream of visiting the Big Apple.  This is my second trip to the states and again I find it very emotional to be here without Dan, as it reminds me of all…

And Then There was Love

January 28, 2015 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

I’m almost in Tampa for Camp Widow, arriving early from Arizona.  This has been a long road trip for me, and taxing in a different way from my previous travels, emotionally.  Perhaps it’s the knowing that this really will be for me, as so many have assured me, a life-changing weekend.  This grief is exhausting and I want it to shift for me but…

An Odyssey Towards Camp Widow

January 21, 2015 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

There is no getting around the silence.  It’s tangible and fraught with emotions.  We can dress it up however we wish, but the silence that consumes every corner after our beloveds die is, almost, as palpable as their presence once was.I’m on the road again, headed to Camp Widow in Tampa, driving PinkMagic.  My intention is to stay primarily at…
