Updates

I started writing this update like three times and kept deleting it because it sounded stiff and formal and that's not me and that's not how I want to present myself here. So then I wrote out the notes of what I want to say and I was going to use it as an outline for an actual post, but you know what? Published is better than perfect, and honestly this is a more accurate depiction of my thought process and what I want to share. So here are my notes on what's going on over here at Perks of Being a Widow and what I'd like to share with you all. Enjoy.

what do i want to say to the people who want to listen to me

I've started recording

I've noticed

• The journey continues whether or not we want it to/we get to decide to be a participant in it

• Healing is messy but talking about it helps provide perspective

• Some aspects of the grief experience are meant to stay private

• I say um and like a lot

• There's wisdom in the phrase "Just do it"

I'm learning

• How to edit audio

• Time management and scheduling

• Every grief journey is different

• We need grief literacy in our society

• There is time and space for everyone's story

My goals moving forward

• Start publishing the damn thing

• Actually utilize this website and blog feature

• Maybe post more on social media or some shit I don't know

Episode One, coming soon!
