The Brutally Honest, Awful, Hilarious Truth About Loving and Losing My Husband

About

I am a comedian, writer, actor, and performer; residing just outside NYC; trying to live my dreams. I had the most wonderful marriage and husband in the world. Then, on July 13, 2011, my life changed forever when he went into sudden cardiac arrest and  was instantly taken from us.  He was only 46; I was only 39; and he was my world. The words and passages that follow in this blog represent just a portion of what’s been inside my head since that terrible, earth-shattering day. So far; the ONLY thing that has helped is to write. I want the world to know my husband, and how amazing he was. I want to write about life, death, grief, and the most incredible love I have ever known. With your help, I am writing a book. What you will read here are just some of the pieces that will be in my book. What I have discovered is that grief is NOT the way it is portrayed in other books, movies, or on TV. Grief is insane, unpredictable, hilarious, ridiculous, heartbreaking, confusing, and insane. DID I MENTION INSANE??? We all have death in common. Everyone has experienced loss, and everyone can relate to this story. This is my story; but it might also be yours.  Please help me share it with everyone you know. Love never dies; and by sharing him with you; I can help him to live forever ….

    I would like to follow your blog so I can know more about you and support you in this small way. You asked for followers…I’m one more! I still think of and pray for you often. Your journey continues and I hope our paths cross someday on it….not just digitally.

    I’ll follow this blog until you stop posting. Reading your entries so far has made me both laugh, as you’re noting down your fond memories of your interactions with your husband, and cry, as you describe the pain and emptiness you feel. I truly hope that one day, you can find some kind of peace in your life. Until then, I will continue to read what you have to say.
