The Address Shift

by Ajai Blue-Saunders in Grief, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Solo Parenting, Widowhood Journey
December 29, 2020December 29, 2020
I made a shift last week. A shift in the way I think and possibility in the way I feel.  I became a homeowner again.  I took the plunge and signed hundreds of white pages of bland, boring documents that ...

Three years, two months, 12 days

by Susan Leathers in Grief, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Widowhood Journey
December 29, 2020
Since my husband died, I’ve learned that the word “widow” can be a label, as if being a widow is a static condition. It’s deceptively simple and cloaks the fact that each widow is unique and that widowhood and grief ...

by Melissa Pierce in Grief, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Solo Parenting, Widowhood Journey
December 24, 2020December 24, 2020
“Melissa, you’re brilliant!” I thought to myself.   I had this great idea to spend our first holiday after Dave’s death in Disneyland.  What a perfect distraction, right?  I walked downstairs where the boys were playing video games - they were ...

Broken Crayons Still Color

by Jayme Johnson in Grief, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Mental Health, Widowhood Journey
December 21, 2020
I came across a post the other day while mindlessly scrolling Facebook, and it really made me stop and reflect. I remember finding the broken crayons in the box as a child, and if I’m being honest, choosing to put ...

Celebrating Christmas

by Tanya Christians in Grief, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Solo Parenting, Widowhood Journey
December 19, 2020
Grief can be like two sides of the same coin.  It is possible to miss and reflect on what we had, yet also create new memories and decide to fully live again – even through the holidays. This is how ...

Christmas as a widow

by Carla Duff in Coping Mechanisms, Grief, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Solo Parenting, Widowhood Journey
December 19, 2020
The holiday season can be one of great joy. But for widows and their grieving children, it can also be one of great sorrow. Reminders of who is missing. Traditions that can no longer be kept. Gifts that no longer ...

Traditions, Widowhood, and the time of COVID

by Lisa BooneBogacki in Grief, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Solo Parenting, Widowhood Journey
December 15, 2020December 15, 2020
Anyone who has experienced loss knows how difficult holidays can be, and how traditions can be tricky beasts. For me, the first holiday season after Gary died fell a mere 3 months later. We were all still in shock. When ...

by Melissa Pierce in Grief, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Solo Parenting, Widowhood Journey
December 11, 2020December 11, 2020
Memories I'm writing this post on my 20th wedding anniversary with Dave - he died suddenly in his sleep almost 10 years ago.  I have a little smile on my face as I remember getting to know him as a ...

Peace Instead of Pain

by Katherine Billings-Palmer in Grief, Hope and Healing, Widowhood Journey
December 5, 2020December 6, 2020
I’m not sure if every widow does this, but I tend to gravitate towards watching any TV show or movie where the main character is a widow. It’s always interesting to me to see how the plot treats widowhood. Is ...
