Halted Healing

by Sonney Wolfe in Grief, Health and Wellness, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Mental Health, Widowhood Journey
September 21, 2024September 21, 2024

by Cassie Dockter-Reeves in Grief, Health and Wellness, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Mental Health
September 15, 2024September 15, 2024
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. I believe it’s so important. And I think those sharing and posting and making it their mission are so important. And, I think they are lacking in the full picture. The messages of “please ...

It's that time, again. The ten-day period between the anniversary of Rick's death and his birthday, the day we held his celebration of life. August 13th to August 23rd, 2017: the most painful time of my life. After seven years, ...
