Last afternoon in Florida. An exciting and wonderful discovery! We’ll be baaaaack! 🌱🌴💦🐟🛶 It’s interesting that even though we’re at the beach, I find that I’m resonating with green, verdant, lakeside ambience.

I don’t have the means. Why do you think it took me so long to be able to get away @Pepper? I have no budget for this. I’m not flush, we don’t make a lot money. And even less for me these last few months because I’ve taken so much time away from work because of Devin’s death. I’m 71 years old...

I’ve been holding all my broken pieces together since Devin died, with frayed string and an iron will, and now, finally, we’ve arrived at my favorite Florida destination for a week of desperately needed therapeutic do-nothing time, so I can just let go. I’ve been trying to get away for the last...

Several people have expressed concern about my original post, that they feel like I may be in crisis, suicidal, unstable, etc. I have had a great deal of difficulty so far articulating my current mindset to my counselor and my support groups, both in person and online, and clearly I’ve done...

@oldman i know you are being kind with this statement, and hoping for the best for me, but there is no possibility I will return to who I was before my son died. I am the “real Ronni” now, just as I was my authentic self before Devin left us. THAT reality didn’t include being a bereaved...

(Devin’s Facebook post from many years ago) Catastrophic, devastating grief and loss, and the hollowed out gutted feeling that accompanies that, has left me feeling vulnerable and fragile in a way I have never felt before. I’ve had hardship in my life, things that have been difficult to come...

Dinner a couple nights ago. Barbecued chicken and mushroom pizza with fresh mozzarella slices on a cauliflower thin crust. I make my own pizzas all the time, usually topped with vegetables. Frozen pizza has a lot of sodium and other preservatives, plus I don’t care for the marinara. I prefer...

That’s his nephew. He had no children of his own but he adored his nieces and nephews! ❤️ I love that you asked about him @VintageBetter! Thank you for that. I would very much like to tell you…but not today. I’m feeling really…fragile I guess is a good word…right now and I need to stay...

There seems to be a correlation between how I’m eating and how emotional I get. It’s not definitive, not yet anyway, but there are indications that when I don’t care about what I’m eating (meaning that I eat unregulated amounts of processed food, sugar, lots of carbs, as well as large...

You have no need to apologize. ❤️ I understood completely your intention to empathize from within your own frame of reference, and I very much appreciate that even as I would give any amount of unendurable physical pain to have my sweet boy back. On the other hand I’ve never experienced the...

I can tell it’s going to be one of those days. This morning I am consumed by my sweet Devin’s loss. Some days are worse than others. Today is one of those days when I experience his loss over and over, the impact of it drilling into me in relentless anguish. Because see, for just a moment I...

Don’t hate me. 😣 I fold fitted sheets all the time. We wash the sheets every week. Ron will fold everything but the fitted sheet. He says he’s leaving that to my witchy powers. 😂

Well if you ever can make it, know that our guest accommodations have your name on them ❤️

I’d happily host any one of you that I’ve come to know through SF! Anyone up for a visit to Nashville? 🤩

@Alizerine doesnt sound facetious at all. ❤️ We have 4 dogs. I also volunteer and foster dogs for my local Shelter and have remained somewhat active with them so I don’t feel that adding a kitten to the mix would fill any particular need for me.
