A widower at forty-two. What Kateri gave me… what cancer took away… and how I'm coping with life from the woods of Vermont

  • Widower Day 500… A Video… with you widows and widowers in mind.

    Posted at 11:09 pm by Darren Lidstrom, on September 4, 2019

    Ya… so… yesterday I wondered what it would be like to read one of my blog posts and record it. Well, the reading of it was emotional… and the process of trying to record myself (and then watching it)… was interesting.  Long story short, on the drive home tonight I was thinking about it being Widower Day 500 today… good, solid number… and just thought I would share something with the widows and widowers out there. (ummm… you can watch this even if you haven’t lost a spouse… it’s ok. Just to forewarn ya, though… it’s eight minutes long) There’s no real significance to the number 500 for me… but for some reason… seems like there should be!

    Sooooo, this is me reading my “Random Widower Thoughts” page… n stuff.

    Widower Notes n Thoughts:

    • Honestly, I kinda enjoyed Widower Day 500… it was kinda funny. (you should’ve seen my “recording” set up!… entertaining sight I’m sure!)
      • I’d just like to say that I still wish I lived back in the old timey days before all this technology… like the 1800’s… minus all the bad stuff.

      What an awesome video. You sound and act just like your writing. (That is a compliment. 🙂 )
      I know you feel the difference between day four and day 500. Losing someone changes you. You have ups and downs and everything is different. Bravo for continuing to tell your story.
