Do You Have a Story to Tell?
It’s amazing how therapeutic writing can be, and among other things, I credit this blog with helping me to finally crawl out of the pit I fell into after my husband died.
Things such as the lack of available male role models, the fact certain people didn’t step up to help and my inability to create the life I wanted all ate away at me. They consumed my thoughts and made it difficult to focus on moving forward.
But you know what? I wrote about them and voila! My anxiety and stress about those things left. I was no longer replaying perceived slights over and over again in mind. It was freeing. It was healing.
Here’s a Place to Tell Your Story
Having this blog as an outlet has made all the difference in the world for me, and I would love for others to have the same opportunity to share their story.
Since not everyone wants their own blog, I’d like to open up space here for others to share their stories. Those could cover anything from:
- The experience of losing a loved one – whether that be a spouse, child, parent, sibling or friend
- Things you wish other people knew about grief
- How you overcame a difficult situation
- Lessons learned from your experience
- Or anything else you need to get off your chest
If you don’t want your personal information on the web, we can always change names and details so no one knows it’s you that’s talking. If you’re worried about wolves coming out to criticize you, know that I control the comments and won’t allow anything that isn’t kind or constructive to be posted.
This is an open offer. Maybe now isn’t the right time. I know it took me about two years before I was really ready to talk about Tom and my experience as a widow. If you decide in six months that you want to share something, I’ll still be here.
Whenever you’re ready, drop me a note at [email protected] for more information.
