She left behind a family of three &#8211; myself, a 10 year old daughter and 7 year old son  &#8211; all of whom loved her very much. The website takes the form of a journal and memoir of our family&#8217;s walk towards a life without her being physically present (but always with us).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am Mathew, a dad, part time blogger and aspiring writer who wants to share a story and create a platform to help people with a similar journey. A journey where it acceptable to take small steps towards a life that ultimately takes us forwards towards a better place after the loss of a loved one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is part experiment, part learning opportunity and part therapy. Hopefully it strikes a chord and resonates with a community of people who are in a similar position, regardless of circumstance. Thanks for being here and nice to meet you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a website and blog that is dedicated to our family&#8217;s journey after the loss of a loved one.
