by Katherine Billings-Palmer in Grief, Widowhood Journey
April 9, 2022

Write Down the Memories

by Katherine Billings-Palmer in Grief, Hope and Healing, Widowhood Journey
March 13, 2022March 13, 2022
My husband has been gone four and a half years. At this stage, the pain is no longer raw. His absence from my life isn’t something that nags at me hourly or daily as it once did. I’m used to ...

A Piece of Him Inside Me

by Katherine Billings-Palmer in Coping Mechanisms, Grief, Hope and Healing, Widowhood Journey
February 8, 2022February 9, 2022
One of my new favorite shows, 1883, has the characters saying some memorable lines. But a discussion about grief in the last episode left me sobbing in a way I haven’t in a while. It was that pleasure/pain kind of ...

What if it had been me?

by Dori Ann Dupre in Grief, Health and Wellness, Hope for Widows Foundation, Widowhood Journey
January 2, 2022

December 12, 2021
Planning a Future I guess that saying “If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans” was true for me. When I got married, I was twenty-five and I was not ready to have a child I was ...

Grief Knows No Bounds

by Katherine Billings-Palmer in Coping Mechanisms, Grief, Hope and Healing, Relationships and Dating, Widowhood Journey
December 10, 2021
Grief knows no bounds. It can be triggered when you least expect it, although most triggers are obvious and predictable. After Rick's death, I knew going into a diner, Home Depot, or Costo would be painful. I knew vacationing without ...

Remembrances of Things Past

by Katherine Billings-Palmer in Grief, Hope and Healing, Widowhood Journey
November 14, 2021November 14, 2021
