Widowhood, and everything leading up to it, has impacted me in unexpected ways. As the person who found, and had to dispose of, their husband’s porn stash - I am now very aware of what I don’t want my family to find if something happens to me #randomthoughts #widowlife
Man and a woman taking a goofy face selfie.
This pic...🤣🤣🤣
He was just as goofy as I am. We had fun and loved each other deeply. I just wish he was here now...I miss him. 6 years ago today. 😢

the hardest thing for me right now is as a day winds down I feel like I'm waiting for something to happen and whatever it is supposed to be doesn't/won't/can't

kept 'saving' S2 of Andor for when Chris comes back #widowlife
crying as I speed home with a Costco rotisserie chicken in the car bc my playlist caught me off-guard with a song I haven't listened to since before Chris died and screaming SIRI SKIP THIS SONG does nothing #widowlife
Today may end up being a mental health day. I still need to go into work for a few things but then come back home. Grief hits me at odd times, like last year on this date I was okay. Today I'm not.
Happy anniversary to my late husband. Happy with the time we had, but I really miss you. 😢💕 #widowlife
having the kind of day where I would love to text Chris about it, he’s who I trusted most and I really don’t know that I want to Weird Dump to anyone else #widowlife

13 years. Still doesn’t seem real. Still doesn’t seem possible.
I will forever love you. I will forever miss you.
I will forever be your blue-eyed angel. 💙

Spring - the time of year for the return of the harmless, but beneficial black rat snakes. Today I found one curled up in the house, but I had help removing him and relocating him to the backyard where I hope he is happily foraging 🐍 #blackratsnake #widowlife #Spring #thisoldhouse #mousecontrol
I’ve had some serious widow fog for 4 months. It’s starting to lift & my feelings are all over the map. It’s amazing how the brain protects you, when you need it.
I’m really missing human connection. Hugs. Conversation w/my person. Intimacy. Sharing a life.

Tonight I didn’t feel like making dinner so I pulled a meal out of the freezer. Once a month or so, I order from The Lingnan and make little freezer meals.

Not to brag or anything,but I had an awesome husband! On 6.12.2023 he became my guardian angel. My Forever Love... #widowlife #loveneverdies
I’m grateful for friends, new & old, who have stepped in, who check in on me, who make plans with me. ❤️ Life goes on without you, but I think of you everyday.

I have a group chat going w/someone & Glenn. Today my dead husband texted me back. I almost fell off my chair. I wasn’t expecting his phone number to be recycled, even though that’s perfectly normal.
Here is the last text Glenn actually sent me when his hands still worked

When this song came out in 1995, I said it would be my wedding song. I didn't meet my husband until 2011, but this was indeed the song I walked down the isle to 9.24.2011. He became my guardian angel 6.12.2023. #widowlife #loveneverdies

Today I received my first Survivor’s Pension. I haven’t received the paperwork yet, so I’m not quite sure if the amount I received is for multiple months. I’ll still receive it after I turn 65 & I’ll continue to receive it should I ever get married again.

Two family memories today: the birthday of my first born child, a day which changed me forever, and I picked up a newly framed oil painting completed years ago by my grandmother, it will soon hang in my family room 🥰 #family #nurture #nature #maryland #love #widowlife
