After they've gone, this phrase, keeps resonating in my head and when that happens I know its time to write. I think about myself- a widow, an empty nester, a woman, seemingly alone in the world. I think about the other moms out there whose lives have taken the turn towards the same path, a … Continue reading After They’ve Gone

Creating a Space you Love – Theresa’s tips
I first got married when we were in school. Sonny in graduate school, myself in nursing school and soon we had a little family. It was wonderful and crazy at the same time (thank God for my in-laws, couldn't have done it without them). We had absolutely no money. My aunt gave us our first … Continue reading Creating a Space you Love – Theresa’s tips

Frankly, some days it just plain sucks. Those days are, thankfully, spread out and not every day is a bad day. When Sonny's birthday came around, we … Continue reading Having Fun with God
Lean In
I think I can fool myself, spending time trying to convince my brain that this season is just any season. That these days are not important or special and that pushing through will be the best for me. Not so. I was telling my friend, who has also experienced the loss of a husband, that lately, it … Continue reading Lean In
