CONFESSIONS OF A LIKELY WIDOW

A Young Widow's Reflections on Chronic Illness, Loss, Grief and Faith

Nail Polish

Last week I finally removed my toe nail polish. It had been on my toes since before G died. A few days later I put on new polish. From...

Old Pictures

Yesterday, my brother-in-law helped me download over 26,000 pictures onto G's computer from an external hard drive. Over 26,000! I spent...

Every night I look at pictures. Starting in 2007 (the ones on this computer), I've been going through - adding them to special memory...
