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.
All in interpersonal
The speeches and performances were meaningful and heartfelt. The applause, the laughs, the tears, all in perfect order.
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 I couldn't say on Facebook is that even though I had fun in the spotlight, the only thing that I could think of was that Pete wasn't watching
It had never occurred to me that people would be apprehensive to encounter me for the first time since Pete’s death.
You may not want to talk to me about Pete because you think it will make me sad–it might–or it might make me smile, or even laugh.
