Diary of a Widow

Helping the children cope with the grief of losing their father was one of the most difficult aspects...

I didn't have to believe or have faith anymore... I knew.

Losing your mind is not a luxury for the middle-class...

I can get lost in a world of remembering.

After my husband passed and the funeral was over, the next step of picking a gravestone came. 

There are some jobs I just do not want to assume. I just want him to do it. I guess there is only so much he can do from the other side.

Since Chris was not here, his brother would have to answer for him.

It is one thing to expect proper behavior from your child in public under normal circumstances, but tell me, how do you expect it at his father's funeral?

I reached out and poked him...

Moments in life you are never prepared for.
