- Hello, all. It has been several months since my last post.Since I wrote last, I've lived through the one-year anniversary of Michael's death, what would have been our 21st anniversary, and our two daughters' 5th and 14th birthday. I was surprised at...
- This site is so important to me for so many reasons. In the beginning, I was offered such grace and support by so many caring individuals as they were reading about me beginning of the journey which they had already began. In the early days...

- Before this inconvenient change-over, someone had re-posted an essay titled "My Mel has been lying to you." That may not be the correct title, but I do remember the name is correct. I thought it was put into the "Things People Say" discussion, but...
- This will be our first Father's Day celebration without Michael. I am really at a loss as to how to approach this day. I was interested to find out how others have approached this day.My daughter's day care teacher pulled me aside yesterday to ask...
- I've had something on my mind and I wanted to get your feedback on this.I've just passed the three month mark. I've made it over 100 days. In the beginning, I would never have thought I'd make it past 10. Hooray for minor victories!Lately, I've been...
- I've been very reflective the past couple of days. I've been looking back at our situation over the last couple of years up until now.It is so hard to not focus on what we don't have anymore. Our normalcy, our sense of security, our dreams, our...
- I've been pretty down in the dumps over the past couple of weeks. Today marks the three month mark.On the way to work each morning, after I drop off my little one at daycare, I use that 20 minutes to talk to Michael, cry, etc. Basically, just "get...
- I've gotten to where I HATE the weekends! Around Thursday I start to get this feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach and it doesn't go away until Monday morning.Emotionally, I'm just in a state of "blah", I'm just in a dark place. Hopefully, it...

- I am at a crossroads here and I don't know which way to turn. Because my husband passed away so young (44) and so suddenly, he left lots of unanswered questions. I am having a bit of a crisis of conscience right now. I don't know what to do. Michael...
- I am a little over two months out and my mind is still reeling. Here's a little background: I'm 37 and my husband of nearly 20 years passed away in February at the age of 44. While his health hadn't been the best over the last couple of years, it...
- Tomorrow is my first wedding anniversary without my husband. He passed away 2/24/16. Tomorrow would have been 20 years. He was so proud of our upcoming anniversary because my parents predicted we wouldn't make it six months.Since joining the group,...
