Hello Grief, We Meet Again

Posted by alisonchrun in Family, Parenting, Self Development

I’ve spent the good part of a year in a state called “Grief.” My grief is not unique to others. My grief is not a new kind that’s never been felt before. My grief is not deeper than someone else’s.  My grief is not different at all. My grief is the same kind you feel.…Read more »

The Unexpected Joy of My Divorce

Posted by alisonchrun in Family, Parenting, Self Development

I was sitting on a secret for almost a week before I decided to call my father. He had noticed I was distant the past few months but I didn’t let on that it was anything more than stress at work, stress with the kids or the usual busyness of life. I could tell he…Read more »

To the Ones Who Left, I Will Always Remember

Posted by alisonchrun in Self Development

To the Ones Who Left, I don’t think we understand the magnitude of pain until we experience it, live in it and see it through to the other side. At the beginning of my separation from my now ex-husband, my life was in chaos. Literally deconstructed. Emotionally devastated by a life changing decision I made.…Read more »

‘Coming Out’ Set Me Free From Anxiety

Posted by alisonchrun in Self Development

  I’ve suffered from anxiety in one form or another since high school. I didn’t realize it was anxiety, however, until just a few years ago. I always classified myself as high strung, and stressed, but never anxious. Anxious always meant something was wrong with you, and as a teenager, the last thing I wanted…Read more »
