I’ve always said the only thing constant in life is change and it certainly bodes true. Tomorrow I will be spending about eight hours traveling by airport bus, then plane to Seattle. Staying for less than 24 hours, and then on my way by car with family to Montana to stay through the winter. This will be a treat to meet new family (my daughter just got remarried to a wonderful man who has five children) as I have missed the joy of being around children during the holidays. I look forward to the fun we will have. My suitcases are pretty much packed. I think about my living out of suitcases for the last six months. It does show me I don’t need all those closets full of clothes I have. When I do finally get home, I know I have some serious cleaning to do! I wish all of you well through the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, and hopefully you will have the strength to enjoy it.
Embracing Changes

Losing a spouse is so different than losing another family member. Don’t get me wrong, they are all hard. But with a spouse there is always a constant daily reminder of them. Every meal time, television time, card playing time, morning prayer time. No more anniversaries, grocery shopping together. Meals--how do I cook for just one? I posted this and more on my Facebook page and all my friends and family members that are also widows/widowers responded with their personal perspectives of what they too have been going through. This gave me the idea of starting a blog for all who have lost a spouse to be able to share their experiences and perspectives, what is working for them, and just someone to talk to who truly understands the roller coaster ride they are on. So here we are. View more posts
