💫 Looking Back: My First Steps Through Grief

Before I open this space with a proper welcome, I want to take a quiet moment to look back.

When I first began writing here, my heart was broken wide open. Losing my Michael — my soulmate, my “Rockstar Hubby” — changed everything. Writing became my way of breathing through the ache, of holding onto love when the silence felt too heavy.

Those first posts were raw, written in the middle of heartbreak. Each one helped me find a little light in the darkness, a small reminder that love doesn’t end — it simply changes form.

If you choose to read those early reflections, know they came from the truest part of me — the part that missed his laugh, his music, his presence beside me every day.

Today, as I continue this journey of healing, I carry him with me in every word and every gentle step forward.

If you’re just joining me, I invite you to walk back through those early pieces — they tell the beginning of my story, where grief and love met on the page.
And then, come to my Welcome Post, where I share how I’m learning to live, create, and find peace again.

Thank you for being here.
