“I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” -E.B White

Welcome…to a Pilgrimage of Love, Loss & Grieving Well.

Thank you for stopping, I hope you will stay and visit.

Chances are, you found this website because you lost your partner; you are under the heavy weight of grief, too. You are tired. And maybe you also hoped to find some kind of Sacredness in this heart-breaking Absence.

I began writing these posts to my private Facebook group after my husband, Craig, died. They are my honest thoughts and experiences. Friends said they should be shared. So, being a big believer in truth-telling, my truths here are often raw and uncomfortable, sometimes cautiously optimistic, and occasionally mystical. I invite you to share this journey with me from where you sit. I hope these writings give you courage to embrace your own Sacred Absence.
