Kathleen's Korner: TIME
http://kmw-kathleen.blogspot.com/2011/06/time.html
A Search For Self. Sunday, June 26, 2011. Time is passing so quickly still. Today it is two months since my Tom left. There is so much I miss about him. There is so much I still can't feel. There is still so much I don't understand about this thing called grieving. I am afraid of being immobilized. Me, the energizer Bunny. What will I do? What if grief won't move out? What if it stays as my companion? The photos at left capture what we had. These were taken in Gwinn, MI on the day Evelyn.

Kathleen's Korner: REALIZATIONS
http://kmw-kathleen.blogspot.com/2012/12/realizations.html
A Search For Self. Tuesday, December 4, 2012. Since the day this picture was taken in 1985, this has been my life. Tom and Kathy. Now, 27 years later I have come to fully realize that it no longer is. Now some of you may be thinking "we'll of course not." Tom has been gone from this world for 19 months. Believe me, if anyone has been counting it's been me. I'm not saying that is a bad thing, I'm just saying it's what I did, by choice. I am ready to embrace "my life". But I'll tell you a secret, I wil...

Kathleen's Korner: August 2012
http://kmw-kathleen.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
A Search For Self. Wednesday, August 22, 2012. Grandma Grace Barber 1920s. Kathleen and Grandma Grace 1956. Grandmothers are remarkabke human beings. They embody Spirits that are able to demonstrate. Most improtantly I learned that those we have loved never really leave us. Instead they are indelibly stamped on the fabric of our being. What they brought to us is a part of us. And now here it is sixty years later, and now I get to be one of those remarkable human beings.a. Wednesday, August 22, 2012.

A Search For Self. Friday, July 22, 2011. Happy Birthday Dear Tom. My Dearest Tom,. This is the first one we've spent apart in twenty-six years. I can't imagine not having you here to celebrate.

Kathleen's Korner: Shredding Memories.....
http://kmw-kathleen.blogspot.com/2014/07/shredding-memories.html
A Search For Self. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Today was a cool cloudy Tuesday. The kind of Summer day that makes me feel more inclined to take on jobs I usually defer. Today's chore was cleaning out file cabinets and shredding. Today came and I didn't have to be anywhere. I decided to start on this formidable task. I stayed at it for seven hours. I accumulated 5 garbage bags of shredded documents and old. Until Next Time.Always,. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Kathleen's Korner: Late Notes on Florida
http://kmw-kathleen.blogspot.com/2012/08/late-notes-on-florida.html
A Search For Self. Sunday, August 12, 2012. Late Notes on Florida. Grandma and Evelyn Racing. Now I know this is a late entry, but I wanted you to see some of the fun I had. When the Rices came to Naples. As you can plainly see "my Evelyn" is no longer. A baby. She has mysteriously turned into a little girl. It's an example of that blink. Of an eye that everyone talks about. As soon as I retired, Tom immediately decided we'd start spending our winters. Enough, but it was, and thats what matters . I'm you...

Kathleen's Korner: Three Little Words
http://kmw-kathleen.blogspot.com/2011/06/three-little-words.html
A Search For Self. Thursday, June 9, 2011. Did I tell you the last words Tom said to me where, "I love you". How many people get the chance to say their goodbyes the way we did. I'm not certain we really understood that it was our final goodbye, but nonetheless it was. These are some photos of sunsets he's been sending me. It can be the bleakest of days and then at about 8:30 pm I go to the balcony and there he is. Shining all this beauty at me, calling hello to me, whispering "I love you.". As a matter ...

http://kmw-kathleen.blogspot.com/2011/05/memories.html
A Search For Self. Sunday, May 29, 2011. Here it is my 65 th. Birthday and no Tom to celebrate it with me:( Tom always made my Birthday so special. He insisted on celebrating birthdays on the actual date. That was never an important thing to me. Just so people I loved remembered me and acknowledged. Me I didn't care when it happened. But not my hubby. Always it was on the 29 th. It wasn't just my birthday he was so fussy about, it was everyone. And driving. We tried to out do each other each year. To see...

Kathleen's Korner: THE BUTTONS
http://kmw-kathleen.blogspot.com/2012/05/buttons.html
A Search For Self. Saturday, May 26, 2012. It seems like forever since I've written. Interestingly enough I'm at the cottage. The place that last prompted an entry. Eight months have passed and truly I had nothing to say. One thing I know is true. Each person's journey through grief is different. Don't late anyone fool you that there is a definite pattern. Places you will visit in your darkest moments. There is no map. There is no right way and no wrong way. This I know. Saturday, May 26, 2012.
