ADHD and 18 Channels

August 19, 2016August 21, 2016 / Viv@Grief Happens / 8 Comments

I wasn't planning to post today, but when I ran across two posts from one of my all-time favorite ADHD bloggers, I had to share. This site, Grief Happens, is a mixed bag, and although I started it years ago as a place to discuss grief and to work on my personal healing process, there … Continue reading ADHD and 18 Channels

Robin Williams, You Will Be Missed

August 13, 2014August 13, 2014 / Viv@Grief Happens / 8 Comments

I’m in a weird space since learning of the passing of our beloved Robin Williams. I'm not someone who knows the details of the latest movie or television show. I rarely watch TV and though I like a good movie, I wouldn’t consider regular outings to the movie theater one of my favorite pastimes. I’ve … Continue reading Robin Williams, You Will Be Missed

I feel emotionally hung over after all the writing and pondering I did yesterday, but the drunken haze is starting to lift and like some of my hard-partying college days, I'm ready for another night on the town. Talking about my struggles is hard, but once I start, I feel this relentless urge to keep … Continue reading Pocket of Pain

Hard Questions

June 24, 2012March 18, 2018 / Viv@Grief Happens / 1 Comment

"Mom, is Grandmother gonna die?" I never cease to be amazed at the depth of my four-year-old. Geez, Kiddo. I'm furious with my mom. She knew I was reluctant to take my kids to visit my grandmother in the nursing home, but I caved under her relentless pressure. I was prepared to have this conversation, … Continue reading Hard Questions
