About Me:
I am a nearly 40 year-old, married mother of two great kids with autism. We live in the San Francisco Bay Area, after many years in southern California. I used to be an actress, now I teach Pilates.
About my Loss:
My dad was diagnosed with melanoma almost 2 years ago, at the age of 69. He underwent an experimental treatment, as well as chemo, and seemed to be doing really well. Then, a year ago last summer, a CT scan revealed that the cancer had spread to his brain. He went into the hospital to begin another treatment, but a few hours after the first one he deteriorated rapidly. he may have had a stroke. They upped the radiation, but the cancer spread too quickly. He died on September 29th, 2008.
He'd been a reporter for "The Boston Globe" for many years. 500 people showed up for his memorial.

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More

Being the Other Woman/Other Man

This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More
