Beyond Tired

by Dorothy Swanson in Coping Mechanisms, Grief, Health and Wellness, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Mental Health
May 19, 2025May 19, 2025

So Very Sorry for YOUR Loss

by Layla Beth Munk in Coping Mechanisms, Grief, Hope for Widows Foundation, Widowhood Journey
May 10, 2025

The Early Days

by Layla Beth Munk in Coping Mechanisms, Grief, Health and Wellness, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Mental Health, Widowhood Journey
April 19, 2025
I remember that day in much more detail than I wish I could. Many folks who've gone through the same or similar traumas have often mentioned that they don't remember much about it; sadly, I remember way too much. I ...

The Voices that Matter

by Sonney Wolfe in Grief, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Widowhood Journey
April 3, 2025April 8, 2025
My father’s favorite canned advice, whenever he found me floundering in my academics (which was often) – was “Why don’t you just be a golfer. Women can make good money that way.” I’d no interest in golfing, nor had I ...
