The Friends
The New Chapters website and initiative are intended to serve as a gathering place to share real life stories of love, loss and what happens next. It’s an offer of insight and hope. Just as I was immediately surrounded and supported by friends through the experience of my husband Brady’s passing. so too did they join me in this project. I offer my heartfelt thanks to these friends.
TOM JELNECK – Brain stormer, website creator/optimizer and sarcastic eye-roller.
JILL SHARGAA – The artist who understood my heart and this new chapter
PETER KING – The “Big Deal” contributing writer and unwavering champion of the idea
ANDREW SNYDER – The creative eye and soothsayer
SARA AU – My editorial spirit animal and connector
THE LOVE POSSE who, as always, without hesitation said, “Just do it!”
EACH and every one of my “sisters” and “mister sisters” who supported this initiative from the idea of it….and all of you who encouraged others to tell me their stories.
And most especially, to EACH SURVIVING SPOUSE for trusting me to listen, hear and understand their sorrow and to tell their love stories with integrity and respect.
