Going With It

Posted on Blog by Stephanie Vendrell · November 16, 2017 12:27 AM · 5 reactions

The big news is, we found a place to rent here in Kona that has agreed to the dogs. It’s only up the block, so moving should be relatively easy. It’s expensive…but thankfully my boyfriend is with us for all the support both emotional and financial that it will entail. 

 

It has not come easy. It took weeks for the owner to come around to us (apparently, two dogs are better than a group of young single people or a family of 10). We had to endure a long, detailed financial application and background check. And the hardest, for me, has been the emotion of it all.

 

My stay at the house my beautiful late husband and I shared is coming to an end.

 

I will leave part of me behind here. My heart, or most of it, it feels like.

My Life With Grief

Posted on Blog by Stephanie Vendrell · March 31, 2016 12:30 AM · 3 reactions

ClearKona.JPGI write a lot about how strange and even unrecognizable my life is now. I can’t explain exactly how I got here, but I can tell you a little about what it’s like, just over three years after my husband died.

Death Day

Posted on Blog by Stephanie Vendrell · February 18, 2016 1:36 PM · 4 reactions

Dharma1.JPGMy friend and fellow widow Karin here in Kona was talking about her husband’s death day last month…the conversation went on before I really realized how that term flew by so clearly and succinctly without us having to explain what that meant, though I hadn’t used it before. Death day. That day, we all know; that day, we all remember, that day, we can never forget.

 

Mike’s death day was yesterday, February 17. It has now been three years. 

 

Three years.
