Family is what you make it

Family is what you make it

This week my mother in law is visiting from Winnipeg. My other mother in law. Mom II. Kevin and I were only married a year and a half before he died, so I can't say I had a long term relationship with my in laws. Even though we

What if he dies?

What if he dies?

As I chatted about life, my control issues, my constant trying to bypass any negative impact on my life, I found myself sobbing. It was a major breakthrough and as you may know, breakthroughs in therapy are exhausting, reflecting, and disheartening. It means you've come far, but you&

Miscarriage and Remarriage

When I began bleeding, I honestly didn’t think it was a big deal. I figured it was just over-exertion from the weekend before. I figured this was just part of it. My very first ultrasound of Dave and I’s baby proved that the baby’s heart rate was

Remarriage after Widowhood

On April 5, I married the boy. Big, big step. Big, big move forward. The month prior to the wedding, I also finalized my book proposal to send off for a non fiction writing contest (didn't win). Finishing the proposal helped me to feel some closure in my

Fighting Against Living in the Past

Last week life threw me another curveball when my boy landed himself in the hospital. A month before our wedding, this was not ideal timing. As we went through the steps of figuring out what was wrong, I did a very good job of keeping my blinders on. I would
