I lost my Husband 2 and half months ago.  We were married for 48 years, he had medical problems, I kind of knew in my heart he wouldn't be with me for years to come.  He was only diagnosed with Congestive Heart failure on a Tuesday and he died in my arms on the following Saturday.  It was really very unexpected, I didn't think it would be that fast.

My children and my grandchildren tell me they will always be there for me, that I am not alone. I told them I know that but it's…

I lost my brother Gene very suddenly and unexpectedly in July.  He had just retired from a job he held for 40 years and were were so excited to start a new chapter in our lives.  One where he could relax and actually enjoy himself.  He lived with my husband and I and we were planning a vacation and attending a family wedding the end of July/early August.  Gene got up that morning, walked the dog, came home  and suffered a massive heart attack and died.  I never got to say I love you or good…

It’s called the Rabbit Hole, this sudden loss of a child and the grief that comes along with it.   Much like Lewis Carroll’s Alice chasing after the White Rabbit and plummeting down to the antechambers that open to the madness of Wonderland; each day is met by the disillusion of reality.  There was no bottle with a note attached reading “Drink Me.”  There was…

Dear Authentic friend,



It's ok to cry sometimes, you know. It's even ok to completely fall apart for a little while so that you can put yourself back together in the way you are supposed to be together.



Sometimes the pieces of us get a little bit mixed up and we have to let ourselves fall apart so that we can get ourselves back in order. And it's ok to grieve over things that we've lost. It's ok to grieve…

One of the kindest things you can do for someone who’s lost a loved one is to help keep their memory alive through stories. I was reminded of this recently when a friend’s daughter wrote to me asking for my support in a philanthropic endeavor to honor her mother’s memory. She added, “I would also like to extend an invitation to those of you who knew my mom personally to send me a short story about my mom. It always makes me smile to know people are remembering her.”

So how do…

The above person was my father.  I never knew him; he was murdered, domestic violence.   His obit shlould have been in The Morning Call, could have been front page news.

I would like to ask anyone that lives in this area to search the records and get me a copy of his death.  He died on my 20th birthyear.  I have searched all I know to search to no avail.  I did talk to corners office & she gave me the info above.  I would like to know where he is buried.

My  e-mail…

So it started back on the 2nd week of August 2011, I get this call from a close friend of mine at an hour when I'm normally in bed. I answer the phone and he proceeds to tells me that he has some really bad news. One of my closest friends has been the victim of a double murder. A mistakenly jealous husband took the life of my friend and his wife, I was crushed by the news.

Later at the end of the month I received another call early in the evening after dinner from my younger sister.…

When I let the first few people read a draft of my latest book, Sisters: The Karma Twist , everyone just assumed that I was Sarah McCall (the main character). I actually work pretty hard not to allow my characters to be me. I change their hair color; I give them different…

Several new movies being released this fall feature individuals and families facing illness and death.

One receiving a great deal of positive attention from critics and moviegoers alike is 50/50, the story of a twenty-something coping with cancer. Based on screenwriter Will Reiser's own experience with cancer, the movie stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the lead role and Seth Rogen as his funny and supportive friend. For…
