You do not have a partner. You do not have a spouse. There isn’t a person who’s your built-in date for weddings, family functions, or events for work. When you go home, it’s just you. If someone is there, it’s because you asked them to come over. Nobody shares your space unless you invite them […]

This is my promise to you: I promise that you will feel ok again. I can’t tell you when or why or how. It could be tomorrow, it could be weeks or months or even years. I wish I could tell you that today will be the day that you finally find your footing, but […]
