At 32 I lost my husband to complications from sleep apnea, medication, and mental illness, the day before our daughter’s 2nd birthday.  Nine months later I started writing about my grief journey.  A month after that I learned from a coroner’s report that my husband had taken his own life.

I have often found that how resilient I am depends on which side of life I am focused on.  Good and bad exist in everything.  For that reason, part way through my writing journey I introduced a series of posts called “Happy Thoughts.”  You can find my list of “Happy Thoughts” under the Happy Thoughts Index, or you can click on the Main Journey Index to read my posts about grief, in order from oldest to newest.

Thank you for joining me on this journey while I continue to recognize, and process the challenges of life, while remembering the ever existent blessings.

Welcome to my journey!
