New Medieval Books: Widow City - Medievalists.net In late medieval Italy, women often outlived their husbands. This book examines writings from the period to explore the different ways widows mourned their spouses and how they chose to carry on with…

I worry that when all the post-death work -sorting, notifications, paperwork, having a memorial service here around the end of March or early April- is done, that's when Hilde's absence will really hit hard. Building a new life without her will be... terrifying.

Day 4 without Hilde. Yard & garden this morning, then 2:00 writers group meeting at library.

Caregiving for Hilde the last year meant no time to write much or critique other members' work, or much social life at all. Missed the monthly workshops. We'll see how I cope.

My birthday today. I’m now the same age he was when he died. I was always younger than him. Now I’m not. Nothing makes sense. #grief #widowhood

I particularly love hearing how other widows connect to Lizzie’s messy grief journey. ❤️ #widows #widowhood #grief #writers #books

Antique hallway bench with coat hooks and a mirror

Dremmel kit with flexible shaft for detail and fine work. Had been in the barn for five years covered in sawdust and dirt. Now clean, organized and ready to be put to work.

Off to a good new year!
Just before the holidays the hinge broke on a hall bench.
As dinner cooked I enlisted my friend’s help to repair the hinge. We rejuvenated the bench finish and tightened the coat hooks. Then we cleaned up my late husband’s Dremmel and he taught me how to use it. #widowhood

Sometimes the hardest part of the holidays isn’t being alone — it’s being with people and not knowing how to feel or what to say.

That silence can be frustrating. Awkward. Heavy.

And it’s okay.

They don’t always know what to say either.

You're not alone...
