Ask Me Anything

-
As I'm working on writing some new blog posts, I was thinking about the feedback I've received so far.  It dawned on me that some of you may have questions that you don't want to ask as they are uncomfortable, you don't want to offend me, never a right time to ask or not even sure if they are appropriate to ask.  Thinking about this has peaked my curiosity that if given the opportunity what kinds of questions would I be asked?  How could I answer and share them with others who may wonder the same things?

Thanks to a close friend, I'm learning about all the fancy things Google offers, including making your own surveys and questionnaires.   With this you are able to submit any questions you've been to curious to find out answers too anonymously!  Your name will not be attached to the question, unless you type it in yourself.  So there is no need to be nervous or worry about if you may offend me.   

My plan is to compile the questions and then share blog posts with a handful of questions at a time and my honest answers.   I'm going to leave this link open, so there's no time limit for this since I of all people, know that being put on the spot it's hard to come up with questions to ask.   Please don't worry about offending me or trying to word things "correctly."   Just blurt it out.   I'm at a point now where I don't feel as raw and can handle things like this.  More importantly, I want to help provide insight to grief, at least from my point of view.

The Funeral

-
Planning the funeral of your spouse, or any loved one, is not something you can ever truly be prepared for. When my step-father in law asked me where we should have the funeral, is when it hit me I was going to have allot  of decisions to make.  I told him I wanted Hoy-Kilnoski Funeral Home  , as I had heard very positive things about them and knew it could accommodate a large amount of people.  I was so thankful when he said he would call and take care of setting up the meeting, because I was in no shape to do that.  I'm specifically mentioning the funeral home by name because they took amazing care of us, provided outstanding service and went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. My mother & step-father in laws attended the first meeting and would help me with the planning.  My father in law was not able, emotionally, to attend the planning but I would still run the plans by him and ask for his input.  We met with Mike Hoy, who gen...

Life Insurance & Will

-

I've been having this feeling that I need to post about the importance of life insurance & having a will.  I don't know why I've been having this feeling but hopefully giving you actual numbers will help you really understand the importance.  Maybe even mentally run through your numbers to see if you have enough life insurance. Life Insurance The words themselves sound like something you have to deal with when you're an adult.  I don't know about you but at 36 years old I am classified as an "Adult", however I sure as hell don't FEEL like an adult.  Life Insurance is one of those adult things that I hope you are at least aware of, if not already having some inforce.  This is something that I learned about at a young age from my dad.  He had taken an individual policy out on me when I was a baby and every year at renewal we would go over it.  At this young of age, I knew it was good to have, but in my mind I wasn't going to die for a long,...

I Lost More Than My "Husband"

-

I've noticed there seems to be a common saying or feeling about Widows: "Oh, she lost her husband. I feel so bad for her."   Then they will go about carrying on with their lives, not really giving it a second thought.  Or if you personally know the family,  You may have dealt with YOUR grief, but not fully understand how the Widow and their children are impacted by their loss Every. Single. Day.  If you see them "moving on" with their lives or positing sarcastic meme's about dating (ahem, that would be me), please do not assume that they are "over" their spouse.  They will never be over this loss.  EVER. I used to be one of those people who didn't get it and ashamed to admit.....I did judge them.  That was the Old Me.  This New Me has become way more evolved and understanding to the feelings of others who have lost a loved one.  I had a close friend tell me at the visitation of her loved one, "I hate that you know what to do for us, bu...
