I am riding a small (not unexpected) grief wave today. Twelve years ago, I sat alone, staring up at a "Mount Everest" of tasks armed only with a widow's tiny spoon to dig with. I greatly worried that, if death could steal one as full of life as my ...

In a few days, I’ll have reached my 1 year mark being labeled a widow. How did you manage to get through your first year as a widow/er? How long has it been for you? What significant life changes have you made since losing your spouse? Any words of...

I’m new. I lost my husband 12/27/17 after nearly 38 years. I miss him so much but I find I’m doing better than I thought I would. I think we did a good job of making sure we left nothing unsaid. But I do miss having smart conversation.

My husband of 36 years died on August 17th of 2017. Laryngeal cancer. It was a fucking nightmare. His suffering was beyond description. I took care of him. Yes I had hospice visiting, but I took care of him. Every medication, injections, feeding, ...

I lost my husband 5 years ago. We were together for 51 years, married for 47. Am I still grieving? Yes. Am I able to function? Yes. Am I looking to replace him? No ... but finally, I'm considering the possibility of finding a new relationship....

Warm cloths made me cry. The wife had been in a wheelchair for decades. When I would fold cloths I warmed them up in the dryer and piled them on her to fold them. She loved the warmth and the smell, I always got a big smile as I folded cloths. Now ...

To those for whom father's day is a sad day... Some of us have lost husbands who we would celebrate this weekend, and others have lost their own fathers or even children. My dad just passed in January. This weekend is doubly sad for my family. It ...

I don't think you ever stop grieving losses of a partner or other losses like friends and pets. I think the intensity diminishes but the memories or moments do not. Memories are sometimes triggered by seeing a location where an event happened with ...

I have always been of the mind that a piece of paper does not a marriage make. We melted the summer we started as a couple. Body and soul. Somehow that event however chemically inspired was foretelling of the rest of our lives. Before we even knew...
