About Me

I became a widow in 2012 after 27 years of marriage when my husband Mike died suddenly. I’d dealt with the death of those I’d loved before, but having my husband and partner die was devastating. The first three years were challenging and painful as I learned to maneuver the world alone. I had supportive people in my life, but it wasn’t the same. One lesson I learned was that the only way to live with grief was to walk through the dark tunnel of this pain. You never get over it, though society would like you to. However, you learn to make peace with it. I’m sharing my journey of grief and grieving with the hope that it will be helpful to others on this journey.

I now have a new blog of poetry,  Beautiful Bittersweet Life Poems , where I explore the world of life and grief in an expressive way.
