Today, when I hit publish on my last post, I cried. This blog has been my lifeline through so many difficult moments, and having others read my words has meant the world to me. Thank you, everyone, for reading my story. dcwidow.com/theres-no-hand…
Sometimes, I still find myself imagining what it would be like to talk to Shawn, and for him to see our world now. And so, for my penultimate blog post, I've written a letter to him that I'm sharing with you. dcwidow.com/letter-to-shaw…
This week, I'll be putting out my last bit of writing. Yes, DC Widow is coming to a close. But first....I have 3 more blog posts for you! Today's post is my final one "From the Archives". dcwidow.com/from-the-archi…
Before my blog comes to an end in just a few weeks, I want to share a few more stories with you. Today's post is about 2 parts of my dad: the part that always sees the joy and the part that never shies from hardship, too. I think you'll like reading it. dcwidow.com/from-the-archi…
Today's blog post is about falling in love with Chris. I didn't write publicly about it at the time, as I was so overwhelmed with excitement and also a bit of fear. It was such a huge risk. The best risk of my life, in fact. dcwidow.com/from-the-archi…
Parenting with my dad was an incredible experience, one that was also full of a ton of funny - and not so funny - moments. Today's post is a glimpse into one afternoon at my house, a few years ago. dcwidow.com/from-the-archi…
This is the prologue to the book I never got published. It's about my dad's simple and incredible love for me and the kids. dcwidow.com/from-the-archi…
Today's blog post is a story about my mom. It's about her as a mother. It's about her illness. But more than anything, it's about my dad's love for her. It's one of my favorites that I've never published before. dcwidow.com/from-the-archi…
I got a really interesting letter from a reader a few weeks ago. It was one that took me a really long time to answer...and one I eventually answered with Chris. It's about new love after loss. dcwidow.com/ask-a-widow-ph…
Today's blog post is one I've never put out...but it's one of my favorite stories from dating. It's about a time when I got stood up...and what came of it. dcwidow.com/from-the-archi…
I always try to do New Year's Resolutions, but like everyone, I often have mixed success. But this year, I'm trying something else. It's called a Rule of Life. Why is it relevant to widows? Take a look at today's blog post. dcwidow.com/rule-of-life/
Today's blog post is about the very first night I spent with Chris. No...it's not that kind of post! It was completely platonic. And afterwards, I was completely smitten...though we didn't get together for more than a year later. dcwidow.com/from-the-archi…
Today's post is also about my dad. It's a conversation I had with him almost a year after Shawn died. I knew at that point that he was going to be with us for as long as we needed him. But I wondered, "what made him decide to stay?" This was his answer. dcwidow.com/from-the-archi…
Today's blog post, and the one that follows it next Monday, are both about my dad. It's about the time when we were first living together and learning how to parent together. It's about the smallest of moments...the ones that made up our lives. dcwidow.com/from-the-archi…
We all miss you so much @shawnbrimley - today on the 5 year anniversary of your death…and every day. dcwidow.com/still-here-wit…
When I was 3 1/2, my mom became very sick with an illness I couldn’t understand. This is that story. dcwidow.com/from-the-archi…
My annual list of things I’m leaving behind in 2022….part 2 to come in the new year! dcwidow.com/adios-2022-par…
Today’s blog post is about dating…and how my view of it really changed after I’d been doing widowed dating for a year. dcwidow.com/from-the-archi…
I know widows can feel like their families are incomplete. But one day, I woke up and realized we could be happy, too. dcwidow.com/from-the-archi…
