She-Kept-Going

This is a blog about learning to not just live after being a widow, but how to actually thrive. I discuss the aspects of grief many don't discuss while also offering hope to any newly bereaved that find my site. I have been re-assembled and feel I am living my best life now, and hope to help others on this journey no one ever wants to be on.

Honestly Speaking..

Originally written in March of 2022 To be honest, when I stop and think about all that has gone on since May 29, 2007 (the night that Greg died) all we’ve endured, all we’ve walked through – crawled through – dug our way out of – held onto what we could grab – when it…

When Real Life Meets Real Grief

Click this link to watch a short video by Don and Berkley Akers Thompson fb.watch/jJkjhmfpZP/ I’ve decided that I will share this video every year. Not only did we want people to understand that in the midst of circumstance that make no sense, we can still trust God. But we also wanted to teach others…

Two sentences that shut down authentic sharing

Just gonna toss this thought out there …. Want to end an authentic conversation? Just tell someone that they’ve got this or that God’s got it! When we tell someone who is really struggling with health issues, marriage problems, challenges with kids, loss of a loved one, super tough job issues….etcAnd we say, “You’ve got…

My Widowed Heart

I’ve Lived Without You for Six Years …Today.

Six Years. You’ve been gone for six years, and when tomorrow arrives, you will have been gone for longer than we we’re married…..just typing that makes my heart break open a little more and the tears come so that typing is almost impossible. Was it really only six years? Because to me – it felt…

The power of being and not fixing a devastating situation

I wrote this six years ago today. I’m including the entire post so you can understand the depth of what we were facing and can appreciate the relevance of the advice. Backstory – Don was in the hospital with aspiration pneumonia and in an advanced state of ALS…he had been intubated and it was time…

Ooops!!! Did I Say That?

We say it so easily and without thought: Happy Thanksgiving!!! I get that, but when you are steeped in grief – boy does that cut deep!!!! If you know someone who is still grieving or experiencing their first holiday season without a spouse, parent, child, sibling, other family or close friend – please be mindful…

One Journey – Two Paths

We will all face different struggles on this journey of grief, and every one of us will come to a fork in our road. In one direction, we can choose the path that is the easiest. Sadly, it is also the path where we stay the same – we don’t grow and aren’t stretched. This…
