My first Mother’s Day

Posted by: Author on: May 11, 2009

Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve posted.  Life has been a whirlwind as I adjust to married life, being a mommy, and all that has come along with it.  Mother’s Day can be especially difficult for many who are with a widower or former widower, so I thought I’d squeeze in the time to [...]

on days like today

Posted by: Author on: October 6, 2008

As I have so wonderfully observed, I usually only turn to this blog when I need to vent.  My lack of writing means that things have been going well, and, well……busy.  Here’s a summation:

My family has been [...]

counting my blessings

I thought my last few posts were rather negative.  So here’s to celebrating what has been going right!
First of all, he called and apologized for how he may have treated me this weekend.  That made me feel better.
Secondly, I need to celebrate how well things have been going with Superboy!  He was rather wary of [...]


To the WOW/GOW community:

I encourage you to leave a comment so others can benefit from your insight and questions. Many forums for wives and girlfriends of widowers/former widowers are not public. I am hoping that by being more public about what happens in our lives, others may be encouraged and some may become more understanding of what we experience. If you are concerned about your identity being discovered by people in your life, please use a screen name. (That's why I haven't disclosed by real name!) Thanks for listening and sharing. ~Author~
