Maggie has always been a planner. The kind of person who enjoys planning a thing almost as much as she loves doing the thing. The kind of person who adds something they’ve already completed to a checklist just for the satisfaction of crossing it off.
Getting divorced wasn’t on Maggie’s life plan, or on her checklist. When you’re a planner and life throws you a big, rusty wrench, how do you live in the aftermath?

April 06, 2021 That's So Chad
Many of us have been forced to adopt a new way of grieving over the past year. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our ability to properly mourn the way we need to when a loved one dies. We can’t safely gather by the dozens and sit in pain with one another for days on end.
Stacy Cooper’s husband, Chad, died last fall, so she knows this all too well. But her grieving process actually started long before the pandemic hit.

Teresa fantasized about falling in love as much as any other teenager growing up. But because Teresa never saw people like her on TV or in movies — people living with disabilities — she could never really SEE herself having that kind of romantic relationship. That all changes when Teresa heads off to college.
