Am I Done Grieving Yet?
I believe when you really love someone, grieving for them never ends. At least not in this life. It has been more than 9 years since Charles died, but my heart aches for him like it was yesterday. The pain is not at the same magnitude as in the beginning, but the…

Cry
Do you ever feel like you cry too much? Apparently, the Lord wants us to reach out and “cry unto him” … A LOT! In The Book of Mormon it says: Yea, cry unto him for mercy; for he is mighty to save. Yea, humble yourselves, and continue in prayer…

The Tease of True Love
I feel like my experience with remarriage after being a lonely widow was a big tease. It was so close to something that could have been so good, but so bad that I could not stay in the marriage. And it broke my heart to have to make that confusing…

Miracle
I believe in miracles! I have written a lot about my regret, and even feeling it was a mistake to remarry who I chose, after feeling warnings in my widow-heart, while dating. But now, I want to write about this little miracle who came from the conflicting choice that I…

The Book in my Head
(Written April 7, 2023.) I found this picture of me, from years after my first husband passed away, and right before I met my ex-husband. This shirt I think applies to me — that I should be careful or I will end up in a novel!! My life just keeps…

Too Tired to Date
(Written October 5, 2023.) I have decided to do what so many have encouraged me to do. I am giving up on finding love again, and focusing fully on my family and my education/career. I wasn’t actively looking for love again — it is too soon after divorce — but…

I Just Don’t Want to
I was at church and I sat next to a lady that I love and respect. She asked me how I was doing, and I started whining about some hard life things… (everyone loves to sit next to a whiner, right?) I still whined. After some life-explaining, I said to…

When the Crying Began
When I think of crying, I remember the sounds that my children made, when I told them that their father was dead. My husband died unexpectedly, of a Pulmonary Embolism, a blood clot, in his lungs. It was April first 2014. More than 9 years ago. He was on his…
