A glimpse into heartbreak. Talking honestly about our pain, fear, weakness, awkwardness, and the strange and beautiful transition between this world and whatever comes next.  Life, death and everything in between. Navigating through grief, sadness, fog, numbness, self-doubt, anxiety, loneliness, and feeling inadequate. Letting go of anger, depression. Finding forgiveness, hope, and peace. Shifts Happen! Finding humor I learned that it is possible to find joy in an unexpected life, calling the shots. Finding out life does go on sometimes whether we want it to or not. Speaking frankly like a best friend would, tongue in cheek. - Mrs HolyShift/ Tracy Peart

Shortly after Michelle’s life-changing wake-up call, her husband of nine years was killed in a small plane crash. Despite the tragedy that was unfolding in my personal life, I dug deep and realized that at this moment in time, I needed fitness more than ever. With each new workout, I found resolve, strength, inner peace, and even normality at a time I so desperately needed all of those things. As the months and years wore on, I realized that this gift I had been given needed to be shared

www.nationalwidowers.org

 The National Widowers’ Organization is a virtual toolkit for men coping with the loss of a loved one, a place where men can meet others going through the same transition.

There are a lot of things men suffer alone. That’s part of our DNA. We find great personal satisfaction in accomplishing on our own, independently. We famously won’t ask for directions, won’t admit when we are lost – we prefer to find our own way home. And eventually, we do. Most of the time. And that’s fine; that’s our way. But, as new and continuing research shows, there’s one loss that men could use a little help from their friends to cope with. That’s the loss of a spouse or a lover or a parent or a child or a lifelong friend. And it often helps those only other men can provide. Because we understand, many times without saying the words, where you’re at, how you got there and even why.
