6 Months of Grief Project: Day 23

For My Fellow Sleepless Souls

This is Day 23 of my #6MonthsOfGrief Project. To learn more about this practice, feel free to visit Day One, where I explain this project in more detail.

Some of you may not know that I have a radio show. Today's Day of Grief piece is an hour-long radio show I created around my insomnia and being a weary widow. 

Feel free to take a listen directly on the site or through I-Tunes, and if you use I-Tunes, please rate and subscribe to my show. It helps.

I am very aware that this project can bring up a lot around yours or other's grief and loss, I will always follow every post with some online grief support resources that have helped me. Please feel free to let me know of online support that you have found healing in your grief, as well:
