A few of you have reached out to see where I have been hiding for the past six weeks since purchasing our home. As you may have guessed, I’ve been DIYing all day, everyday. Despite all the aches and pains from the physical labor, which I actually thrive on, I have been having a blast…
life after tiara
Today Tiara would be 22…
Today is supposed to be Tiara’s 22nd birthday. I can’t believe her last birthday celebration was six years ago. She was so happy as we sang to her and she snuck her fingers into the frosting, thinking I didn’t notice. Birthdays and the day she passed are always the hardest followed by Christmas and Thanksgiving….
Covid-19 shoved me into therapy…
A few months ago I told myself I was going to find a therapist because I knew I was losing my shit in the midst of this pandemic. After bouts of crying, screaming at everyone, lots of naps and overall insane behavior on my part, Lou suggested I seek help. For once, I knew he…
where have I been?
Like everyone else I’ve been home for months but life has been very weird for me and our family. Before the coronavirus hit I was already in a funk or rather depressed and confused about my direction in life. I basically gave up my twig decor business to write Loving Tiara and once it was…
Are you scared of the coronavirus?
If this outbreak happened 6 years ago when Tiara was still alive, I would be absolutely terrified of the coronavirus. Truth be told I was terrified of every cold, flu, and virus that was “going around” throughout her life, especially influenza A and B. During the last years of Tiara’s life, she always struck with…
Is it depression, menopause or grief?
Since my last post, things haven’t been great for me. Luckily I recovered fairly quickly from the dog bite and was able to walk Friday morning without pain which is one of the few positives. I spent Friday on the computer sending emails trying to get some more press for Loving Tiara and creating ads…
Are you there God?
If ever there is a time to question one’s faith it’s when tragedy strikes. Over the past few days, I imagine people all over the world have asked God the same question over and over again. “God, why did you let those nine people die in a helicopter crash? Why didn’t you save them? How…
It’s been 5 years since she went to Heaven…
Wednesday, January 15 was the five year anniversary of Tiara’s passing. Every year I do the same thing on January 15. I have the 8:00 am mass said in her honor which I attend, I visit her grave and then I mope around. This year was a little different. I called the church office two…
I can’t remember how to do anything!
This isn’t like riding a bike, because I can’t remember how to do it, even though I used to be really good at it! You know how you learn to use your phone and then you have to update it 2 years later and everything is confusing and you can’t seem to complete the simplest…
