Two Became One . . . becomes One

by Diana Henderson in Grief, Hope and Healing, Widowhood Journey
October 28, 2024October 30, 2024
I married my best friend in autumn—two became one. Finding my true love and then tragically losing him literally crushed my heart and weighed down my soul. My deep love for him created this very deep grief that doesn’t go ...

The Gift of a Pumpkin

by Sonney Wolfe in Grief, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Mental Health, Widowhood Journey
October 21, 2024October 22, 2024
The cashier insisted I bring home two pumpkins and a giant bag of candy after I awkwardly responded to her Halloween inquiry. ‘Uhm, Halloween just....isn't in the cards this year.'  A thousand responses had flipped through my mind when she ...

Yesterday is Gone

by Sonney Wolfe in Grief, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Widowhood Journey
October 5, 2024
I short circuit sometimes – when life gets too stressful – to a memory that repeats in haunting fashion. It is the lips of the doctor mouthing the words, “These things happen.” His lips are chapped and peeling. The corners ...

Grief and Anger

by Diana Henderson in Grief, Hope and Healing, Mental Health, Widowhood Journey
October 1, 2024October 1, 2024

by Cassie Dockter-Reeves in Grief, Hope for Widows Foundation, Mental Health, Solo Parenting, Widowhood Journey

When I’ve gone to write posts for this blog, the words just fell out of me. But not this time. This time it doesn’t feel like I have any words to give. Sometimes it feels like this is all I ...

Preparing our older children for the game of life

by Cindy Schriver in Grief, Mental Health, Solo Parenting, Widowhood Journey
September 27, 2024
  As mothers, we spent much of the first years of our children's life trying to protect them. From holding hands, to forcing sunscreen on wiggly toddlers, to buckling them in the car safely, to kissing scraped knees. It can ...

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
I still feel married. The dichotomy of this phrase is largely dismissed by widows. Conversely, we pass it around like bread at the dinner table, slathering it with butter and comforting our palates with the way it rolls off our ...

The Pilgrimage of Faith Through Grief

by Sonney Wolfe in Coping Mechanisms, Grief, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Widowhood Journey
September 7, 2024
I have believed in God for as long as I can remember. My mother and the church indoctrinated me with visions of the cross, and on Sundays, I trailed behind her with hurried steps while she marched us towards service ...

Learning to accept help

by Cindy Schriver in Hope and Healing, Widowhood Journey
September 6, 2024
Learning to let people help you can be very hard. I have often had to bury my ego and seek help from my Mom or sometimes, in extreme cases, church. I enjoy being the giver much more than receiving.    ...

Uncomfortable Grief

by Diana Henderson in Grief, Hope and Healing, Hope for Widows Foundation, Widowhood Journey
September 1, 2024September 7, 2024
Grief is something that widows live with and it is also what makes everyone around us uncomfortable. The reality of grief is that it’s permanent; it’s not something we get over or outgrow. Grief exists near the surface of life ...
