Profile Information

About Me:
I am a 63 year old widow and now an “orphan” as my dad just died a few weeks ago. My mom and husband have both died since 2019. I do not have children (My husband and I met in 2011 and was my first marriage.)I grew up in Michigan but moved west in 1992. My home is in Flagstaff, AZ. I had a 35 year career in Human Resources and retired from Northern Arizona University in 2020 in order to care for my husband. I love to travel and be outdoors. I also am a musician and love all kinds of music.
I’m not sure who I really am now that I am free from caretaking and the relationships that largely defined my life have become ones I cannot experience in a way that is meaningful to me.
About my Loss:
My mother died in 2019; my husband in 2020 and now my dad…all from +*^%#^ cancer. I helped my dad care for my mom for several months before her death. 8 months later, my husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. We had only been married for 5 years and he was my first husband…I waited 54 years for him and then lost him way too early. I took an early retirement from my 35 year career to care for him. My dad’s cancer battle was longer and he lived alone, so on and off, and then for the last 6 months, I was his primary caretaker. My home is in Arizona but my dad and mom lived in Michigan, so I have been uprooted since my husband’s death in October of 2020. I also lost my two beloved cats and my husband’s dog since 2021.
