Your Death is a Pain in the Ass Replay

January 10, 2020 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

Kelley Lynn is spending the weekend away from home, so we’re posting this replay of one of her blog posts from 2016.  Enjoy!   Beyond the missing of you …..  Beyond the not having my best friend, my teammate, my lover, my all-things-in-life go-to person ……  Beyond not having our future to look forward to, or our today to live ….. …

Oh My God! I’m So Sorry! I Just Heard…

October 7, 2018 by Bryan Martin Leave a Comment

Time goes on and life begins to settle. You think you are past the hardest conversations until you get a message from out of the blue… “Oh My God! I’m So Sorry! I Just Heard” These words come in a text message, a social media tag, in an email and, rarely, in a phone call. Mine came just a few minutes ago through Facebook. It’s one of…

The Phoenix and the Dragon

September 8, 2018 by Bryan Martin Leave a Comment

It comes in waves, those flames: the flames of fear and the flames of future, the flames of anguish and the flames of anger. You do your best to fight the fire but it is erupting from within you. As if you haven’t fought enough, you are constantly fighting with your inner beast but you never know whom. Is it your inner phoenix or is it your inner…

A Wolf in Family Clothing

August 18, 2018 by Bryan Martin Leave a Comment

Over the river and through the woods, Tin’s Aunt had come down to see him before he passed and to help his mother handle a mother’s worst nightmare losing a child. She watched him grow, watched him thrive and now held him as he faded away. I can’t imagine and it seems unholy although if Jesus’ mother had to go through it than who am I to…

Get Along, Grief Shamers

July 18, 2018 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

Along about the second year, definitely going into the third and then the fourth…I just wanted to scream at people. Not in anger, but in shredded grief and pain… Why can’t you just let me be sad? Why does it feel like I must defend myself against you? Why does it then feel like I have to defend my grief even to myself? Why does it feel like I…

Envious

May 24, 2018 by Olivia Arnold Leave a Comment

I once heard a phrase that if all the world’s problems were in a bag you would be trying to pick back your own. At the time I thought well of course, my problems are miniscule. Now I think that clearly wasn’t written by a young widow. I know there are still worse problems than mine; people who deal with major issues on top of being widowed and…

My Husband Died and All I Got Was This Lousy Book

April 6, 2018 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

In July of 2011, my husband died, and I died too. Well, that version of me died. About an hour after his death, after I had made the phone calls to immediate family and a few close friends – from a random bathroom inside the ER part of the hospital, sitting on the toilet after having just thrown up from shock – I sent my first Facebook status…

why Christmas concerts suck

December 15, 2011 by Jackie Hannam-Chandler Leave a Comment

I have been working really hard at being upbeat and positive this Christmas. I consciously remind myself of the wonderful things in my life – amazing kids, great friends, a rewarding job, an amazing community, etc. I don’t want to whine. I certainly don’t wish to have others internally groan and roll their eyes if I talk about how lame the holidays…

Wake me up when December ends

December 6, 2011 by Amanda Wright Leave a Comment

It’s December 1, 2011. I bought a new car today. My very first new car ever. The very first car I have bought all by myself. Something bright and shiny and new to replace the old and falling apart, frustrating and faded. I should feel happy. But I don’t.I am gripped by the worst grief I have felt in months. “A new car – you are so lucky”…

Is There a Statute of Limitations ….

November 30, 2011 by Janine Eggers Leave a Comment

…. on now long Jim will remain on so many mailing lists? Because …. really?!  It’s been 4 years.  Well, Three years and 11 months, but who’s counting?  Besides me? I don’t think there’s a day that goes by without getting something in the mail that’s addressed to him.  And mostly, it’s just junk mail. And I get that. I really do. Because…

It’s Not My Fault ….

September 7, 2011 by Janine Eggers Leave a Comment

…. that my children became orphans on December 18, 2007. OK, they didn’t literally become orphans. But technically …. they did. They lost both of their parents that day. Yes, I was here in body, but only in body. My body was empty of any resemblance of me. All it held was the cold, black grief that enveloped every part of me …. grief moved…

World’s Best Husband

September 2, 2011 by Matthew Croke Leave a Comment

I was at Denny’s restaurant on my lunch break, enjoying a turkey club sandwich, an iced tea, and reading the newspaper. Sitting in a booth by myself, still having another 35 minutes to go on my break, and kids away at school miles away from where I work.  I was in a peaceful state.  That’s when I heard it from the booth behind me.“Mike has…
