Grief Is A Complicated Lifelong Journey
Death is just a fact of life. It is an awful thing to go through, and no matter how much time goes by, you still will feel a measurable sense of loss. It doesn't matter if your loved one died yesterday or 40 years ago, you will still miss them. For many, they never can move forward.

My Narcissistic Mother Taught Me To Love
I know this is an idea many will think is absurd, but my narcissistic mother taught me to love, despite her hatred for everyone in her life. Growing up, all I wanted was for her to love me, but it never happened. I tried everything to get her to love me for 44 years.

My Mom Came Out To Me At 15 — Having A Gay Mother Taught Me Acceptance

My Grandpa Died Twice — And It’s My Aunt’s Fault!
Disclaimer: This article focuses on sexual abuse and implies this case was false. That doesn’t mean I don’t take sexual abuse seriously. I believe if the abuse allegations are true, the abuser should face legal charges and deserves the public humiliation.

I filed an order of protection (restraining) order on January 26 after my ex-husband and his girlfriend wouldn’t leave me alone. They would harass me on Medium, social media, and via text. It wasn’t as simple as blocking them, as they created fake names and free numbers to insult me.

Stereotypes Put Innocent Women on Death Row
The justice system in America is not fair. When a woman commits a crime (or she’s accused), the police and court use information about her life that doesn’t prove her guilt.

We rarely hear about why she committed the crime without gender-based suggestions, pointing out she wasn’t living up to the ideal woman/wife.

My Cousin Died At 8 And She Saved My Life
My cousin, Marsha, died on March 2, 1983. I was six years old and I can still hear her laugh, 39 years later. Her life was far from easy, but she was so happy and content. I never saw her cry or complain about the endless medical procedures she endured. She was so full of love and acceptance, especially for me.
