Hi.
I know there’s a bright side of the road—I can see it and sometimes even reach it briefly. Utilizing the amazing skills of resilience that I learned from my late husband, guitarist Pete Huttlinger, I am working through the grief of losing him.

We finished the course in just under four hours, alongside Pete’s brother, sister, cousins, cardiologist, and, as he would say, “25,000 of my closest friends.”
The speeches and performances were meaningful and heartfelt. The applause, the laughs, the tears, all in perfect order.
I step outside every morning, no matter the weather, and I say out loud, "What a beautiful day!" with a huge emphasis on beautiful.
No one of us wants to actually grow old without dragging the other one along with us
I learned to look at their expressions and body language to determine when it was time for me to step in
I long for the downtime of the weekends, but I haven't been enjoying that space or quiet time
Since Pete's passing, I've received numerous invitations to visit people. I just haven't been ready
I'm the only person I know who can actually be embarrassed all by myself
I've become acutely aware of other people who have been thrust into this same ghastly spot
What did I do with information that was so onerous it would change my life forever? I embraced it
There are a lot of things that I loved about my husband, but it will always be his music that caught my attention first
