Widows Don't Wear Black. The Two Faces of Evie. May 8, 2015. May 13, 2015. I thought it was just me that had a face for the world and then one with the cracks that I tend to keep for behind the closed doors of our home. I am discovering this week that although Evie may look the spit of Colin she is most definitely like me in this ability to create a happy exterior when inside you have a chasm of sadness that dissipates but never will go away completely.

Widows Don't Wear Black. The Annual Father’s Day Conundrum. June 17, 2016. Miss Taylor has special Sellotape that might stick but what do we stick it to? I decided to call in outside reinforcements because it was clear that Evie and I were clashing as only her and I can particularly when she is feeling a little at sea about something usually grief related. So I wrote a note to Evie’s teacher explaining that she was obviously uptight about any activities that might be done at school. Help. August 16, 2015.

Widows Don't Wear Black. Loss of a parent. April 29, 2015. April 29, 2015. I remember a week or so before Evie was born, standing in the empty but newly decorated nursery looking at the softly washed baby clothes and imagining what parenthood would be like. How would we do it? I imagined the wee thing that would come home from hospital and fill those clothes, sleep in the empty cot and be clipped into that carefully selected carseat. How would we cope? Isla: “Why is daddy in the sky? Loss of a parent.

I will always answer honestly even if it breaks my heart. Posted in Hurdles Overcome. The Annual Father’s Day Conundrum. June 17, 2016. Posted in Hurdles Overcome. April 29, 2015. April 29, 2015.
