Life Marches On

Posted by:
TAPS

TAPS Blog | There will always be days and life events where the loss is more profound. I have learned not to push my agenda or my expectations on the people around me. I have learned not to ask for permission to feel happy, to try new things, or even to make mistakes. I often feel like an adolescent as I navigate learning who I am without my Phil. I was married for 23 years. I knew who I was with Phil.

Comfort Zone

Posted by:
TAPS

TAPS Blog | I was never the one to "go out on a limb", or the one who "took a chance", or the "throw caution to the wind" type. I was a girl with a semi-low self-esteem who smiled because she knew some day the world would become a better place for her. I had my own comfort zone with clothing, friends, work, and even with excitement. I would hang out with the same bunch of people, never really letting too many "newbies" get attached or get to know me. I went to work, came home, took care of my children, and started the cycle all over again the next day. Soon all of that would change.
