How to Live After a Loss

Hey there!

Hi, I’m a mom, daughter, sister, dietitian and friend. I was a wife until my husband died…and that’s why I have this blog! Writing a blog is so very personal. When I’m writing, just remember, these are a general set of ideas, thoughts and feelings that have come to me over the last few days (a sum of what I’m feeling) and do not reflect any single interaction or situation that I’ve had, unless I specifically mention it as such.

Thanks for checking out my blog.
