The second anniversary of late wife’s death
Posted by: Author on: October 17, 2009
This past week was the second anniversary of her death. I remembered how terrible it was for a few weeks last October before Superman and I got married. He did really well this year. He has had a few weeks with really poor sleep and nightmares, which could be him dealing with it on a [...]
Facebook Surprise
Posted by: Author on: August 6, 2009
So I was on Facebook today and noticed Superman became a fan of the group “Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Team in Training”.
I don’t know how to feel about it. The late wife died from complications with leukemia. When she had been in remission, she trained to run a marathon to raise money for research. This [...]
Reconnecting
Posted by: Author on: June 2, 2009
This past weekend Superman and I had some time to ourselves. It was much needed as we have been enduring a lot lately and it had been straining our marriage.
We went on a date and it was amazing how Superman started opening up and talking about his time in the Air Force. I had heard [...]
I dreamed she was still alive
Posted by: Author on: May 19, 2009
A few weeks ago, I had one of the most vivid dreams that Superman’s late wife was still alive.
In my dream, I was married to Superman and still pregnant. It was like she had either been raised from the dead or had never passed. She had her hair again. She started talking to me and [...]
prayer does change things
Posted by: Author on: May 16, 2009
I’m making a more conscious effort to not only post when things are rough, but to also share the joys. After all, I did include struggle and joy when I named the blog!
Yesterday when I came home from work, Superman had actually been doing some things around the house. I can tell it’s a step [...]
7 weeks into marriage
Posted by: Author on: December 15, 2008
So we got married on October 24th! You haven’t heard from me because it’s been insanely busy as I adjust to becoming a wife, a mother, and my commute changed from being 25 min to 45 min-1 hour one way.
I must say that things are going pretty well. We are having our moments here and [...]
I don’t want to hear her name
Posted by: Author on: September 8, 2008
For the last several months, Superman and I have been doing really well in regards to the whole “widower thing” (for lack of a better phrase). I’d gotten past a lot of my insecurities, his grief was not apparent, and he even reported that he was getting his passion back. He was feeling more productive, [...]
it’s been postponed
Posted by: Author on: September 7, 2008
So I told you all I was supposed to marry Superman 2 days ago. It didn’t happen.
Approximately two weeks ago, after reflection in premarital counseling and based on the advice of our pastor, we postponed the wedding indefinitely.
I am telling you all for several reasons: 1) For you women out there that feel pressure to [...]
Three Weeks Away
Posted by: Author on: August 15, 2008
It’s amazing that it’s only 3 weeks until the wedding! It seems unreal.
I’m continuing to move stuff into the house. It’s really starting to feel like my home now that we are getting things unpacked. I go around the house and get pleasantly surprised to see my familiar things in a new place. I’ll be [...]
Premarital Counseling
Posted by: Author on: August 9, 2008
Superman and I started premarital counseling two weeks ago. If you are considering marriage at all, it is a MUST! I think it’s also a must to have counseling from someone who has a successful marriage. My pastor is probably the best premarital counselor in the region, and it has been unbelievable. What has been amazing [...]
