This is a very special post. From now, through 8/31/14, any widow or widower who requests it via E-mail, may have the above print.
You don’t have to prove it, I trust you. If you wish to make a PayPal donation to cover printing and mailing costs, inquire in your E-mail. If you don’t or cannot, the offer still stands.
If you feel lost, confused, alone, angry or sad – I am here to tell you that it does…lessen. This is my contribution to those in this position.
The only loss greater than a spouse, is that of a child. It matters not how many years; that bond was established, legally or otherwise.
Those of you that follow this blog, if it is not applicable to you, I ask that you re-blog please. I’d like to give back, especially to those just starting on this painful and long journey.
About the photo:
This was taken in my first winter as a widow, on the property that I eventually lost. It is not retouched at all. The camera caught the ethereal beauty just as it was. It was a hard time in my life. But I have learned that even among hardship, there is beauty. This is testament to that.
From my heart, to all.

Because it matters
Thanks for the re-blog!
You are welcomed 😉
Beautiful image!
Thank you 🙂 Right time, right place, and the camera didn’t freeze up. There is actually the road to my house under that snow, between the trees.

This is a first for me but I thought the emotion behind the offer was well worth it!
You are kind. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen anything like it … I lost my beloved husband 8½ years ago, and I manage, now. I didn’t manage at all for the first 6 years, and I should certainly have taken advantage of your offer during that period. But I wouldn’t have been blogging ! – I was incapable of doing … ANYTHING.
I fear your beautiful photo will miss a lot of those at whom it is aimed for this reason. And that will be a real, real shame.
My condolences for your great loss ((hugs)). I had no choice, but to do. In hindsight, I am thankful for the circumstances that forced me have to act like nothing happened. It was hard, but, I am making it. If you know of anyone who could benefit, please Email and let me know.
Press on, so glad you’re here blogging NOW 🙂
Best wishes,
~S
Wonderful idea and gorgeous picture for a print… but, my wife is still by my sad, happily 😉 She says: “Hi, thank you for sharing such a beautiful notion with all. And, we, too, wish the best and condolences to those who have lost loved ones.”
I’m glad for you both 🙂 And thank you, for the condolences, for me; and also others who may stumble across the comment due to the topic.
Thank you for the kind words on my photo. I miss the farm, but who knows what awaits in the future?!
