We write about widowhood as we live it. Together we examine the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of life as a widowed person. The views expressed here are those held by each individual author. We take no credit for their brillance; we just provide them with a forum for expressing their widowed journey in words that are uniquely their own.

regrets
some of us
were talking
about madeline’s long fingers.
someone suggested
that she should be a
piano player.
i said,
“just like her momma”
and then i realized…
i was in love with liz
for over
12 years
and i never
saw her play the piano.
and that made me sad.
then i got to thinking
about the other stuff
we never did.
we never skied together.
we never made it to egypt.
we never went on that african safari.
we never made it dubai.
(she really wanted to see those crazy human-made islands)
we never got one of those
cheesy family portraits
(you know what i’m talking about…the three of us all wearing the same all-denim outfits).
but really,
those are the only
regrets.
amazing.
