  • Grieve more than loss of husband

    After the shock of my husband's death wore off and I began to feel some sense of normalcy in my life, I tried to find information on being widowed and helping get through the grief. I didn’t find much information that pertained to a childless widow in her 20's or 30's. That was over...

  • A few things I learned from being widowed:

    I’m stronger than I thought I was. Listen when it is recommended not to make any major life decisions in the first year. I couldn’t tell you anything that happened the first few months, maybe even the first year after my husband died. I worked, paid the bills, and did my best to keep my house...

  • My two firsts... a week later

    The spa experience was what I had expected and more! I would recommend the experience to everyone. The massage was so relaxing that it could have lasted forever. After the facial the dark circles under my eyes were almost non-existent. The mani & pedi made my nails look like they were someone else's...

  • A little play, a little old man and a lot of tears.

    So, this morning I'm in Atlanta with my sister-in-law and we are going to my niece's play. We get to school, have lunch in a crazy place they call the cafeteria and are soon winding down hallways making our way to Gracie's classroom. My expectations are that this will be cute and funny and...

  • My Wedding. Minus my Dad.

    As every girl does, I assumed my father would be walking me down the aisle on my wedding day until I was so rudely awakened by how evil and swift cancer can be. It not only took my father from me it also robbed me of the special moment when a father gets to give his little girl away. I struggled with...

    In life you have to fill out forms that ask for marital status. Well, I received such in the form of duty jury summons. The options were single, married, divorced/separated, and widowed. I selected widow. I was telling a friend that I had received the summons and had to send information back to the county...

  • Worried Widows Unite!

    I was on the phone with my Mom this morning on my way to work, which is part of my morning routine, and she mentioned something I thought would be great to share. A fellow widowed friend of hers mentioned how she has had several sleepless nights due to some pending medical test she was anticipating....
