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.

The repercussions of suicide are devastating, and the ripples of pain reverberate years later.
The speeches and performances were meaningful and heartfelt. The applause, the laughs, the tears, all in perfect order.
No one of us wants to actually grow old without dragging the other one along with us
I long for the downtime of the weekends, but I haven't been enjoying that space or quiet time
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
During quiet times, I stop for a moment and close my eyes and relive the moment in my mind.I learned to look at their expressions and body language to determine when it was time for me to step in
The expectation of how happy I was supposed to be was so high that the gap between sorrow and joy was huge
Now all of the things that I loved to do for him, that pulled my focus outward, are gone
It had never occurred to me that people would be apprehensive to encounter me for the first time since Pete’s death.
When I feel intense love, it’s much easier to function than when I feel intense grief.
