Summer season is almost here! I don't know about the rest of you, but Summer rays are something that I crave immensely. My body has already been feeling brighter and lighter with the Spring breezes.I live within a couple of hours of several nice beaches, and I imagine that some of you do too! Would any of you be interested in meeting to enjoy a day trip to the beach - possibly Rehobeth, DE, sometime between June-August on a Saturday?Kids are welcome and it would be a great day to enjoy a…See More

Twas the Day Before Christmas...For the Grieving

I wrote this for me, and for you, this Christmas season.
Choosing Me
Posted on April 26, 2012 at 10:15pm 6 Comments 5 Likes
I can feel the surge of the wave of grief. The tide pulling me out, under, sucking the breathe out of me and causing my heart to race. This is what happens when the past overwhelms me. It has become even more difficult to deal with as my brain tries to understand celebrating a present and a future while mourning a past. Sometimes those events overlap.
This week marked 2 years ago that I met the boy. Two wonderful, growing, and enriching years. This week also marks the week that…

When I see these pictures of Kevin, just about a month after his 36th Birthday, his last birthday on earth,
I see such life.
Kevin would be 40 on Saturday, April 7, 2012.
It's a moment I know I, probably more than him, would have looked forward to. If he were here.
I know myself, and I have a feeling I'd be renting or making one of those "Lordy, Lordy, Looks Who's 40??" signs.
There would…

Hello and greetings from CrazyWidow & CampWidow CWx2.
I realized, on my second year here at Camp Widow, that you can take time for yourself while you are here. Last year, I was overwhelmed - having broken my back 2 weeks prior to arrival, the trip was long and painful, and I was heavily medicated. I was presenting a blog workshop with the awesome Supa Dupa Fresh but just did not feel I had my wits about me. Combination of injury, drugs, and just plain…

Enjoyn'Life1950 said… Yes, I never thought I would be on a site such as this, but life does not always turn out as we would like it to.
I actually started a meetup group in Portland, Oregon called Portland Area Widowed Singles 50+, for those of us over 50 who are widowed. I started it last year and now have 60 members, of course waaaaaay more women than men, but I think men have aversions to joining groups.. Anyway, this group has been a great source of support but I am always looking for new friends, new ideas on meeting subjects, meeting places, etc.
I have been a widow since April 9,2008 - how about you?
