Thank you for your patience, dear friends. I have been a bad, bad widow. I have been awful …. absolutely AWFUL … about staying in touch here in my blog and on my website, with you, my wonderful subscribers. I promise to do better.

As of July 13th, 2021, it has been one decade since the sudden death of Don Shepherd - and one decade of learning, growing, falling, living, grieving and figuring out this life after loss.

Im missing him LOUDLY today.

Like, I woke up and I could feel the missing of him, like a very loud drumbeat, but even more so, like an entire orchestra of missing.

I know its been awhile. Trust me. I know. I REALLY need to get back on here and start writing again. And I need to write more regularly. Life has been SO crazy busy.

August 30th is/was National Grief Awareness Day. After eight years of living with the sudden death of my husband, here are some things about grief that I would like to share forward – things that others should be “aware” of on this day, and every day.

Have you ever felt like your life as a widowed person has you being pulled and pushed in multiple directions?

Like you are walking a tightrope, but nobody bothered to ever give you any lessons.

Will I Ever Stop Asking

Where would we be,

had you not died?

Will I ever stop wondering

what would have happened

in our life together

if you were still here?
