One Widow’s Might
This blog is dedicated to my sweet husband Maj. Brad “Gyro” Funk. I love you my boy. We miss you every minute. We are learning to go on without you physically here with us. But we know you aren’t far. We feel your love lifting and carrying us still just like you did in life.
Always My Hero
Not Your Average Widow
I’m Erin and I’m a 27 year old mommy, photographer…and widow.
Life changed forever on September 12, 2009 when my husband, an EOD Staff Sergeant in the US Air Force, was killed in action in Afghanistan. Our life was storybook happiness; we were childhood best friends, happily married for 6 years, new parents to a beautiful 8 month old boy, and had just built our first home. We were ‘there’, we were living our dream. And then in an instant, it was shattered when my husband was taken from this world too soon.Now I’m left in the wake our tragedy, picking up the pieces and trying to build the best life for our son, a life that will honor the sacrifice made by our hero and make him proud.
When Three Becomes Two
I’m Ashleigh. I married my soulmate June of ‘09. Cody was a marine deployed in Afghanistan and unjustly he was taken from me Aug. 31, 2010. So that makes me a “war widow”. Nothing makes my whole body cringe more than hearing those words. My husband maybe physically gone, but the love we had will live on forever.
Letters to You
I’m Chrissy! I’m 20 years old and a full time college student from a small town in Pennsylvania. I just lost the love of my life in Afghanistan, so as a “war widow” this is my way of talking to him every day. I’m on a journey to figure out my life after we already had one planned. Where to go, what to do, and waiting for the day until I see him again.
Letters to Tommy
This is my way of dealing with the pain of losing my husband, Sgt. Thomas R. Bagosy. This is my journey into an unexpected life as a new widow and single mother. I have no idea what this path or this blog will be about.

Don’t Stop Believin’...Hold on to that feeling
Sometimes the only thing to do is write. Everyday I get up and I choose to keep going. Some are good days, some are bad days, and some I share here.
Letters from Home
01.03.2010 was the day that I became a widow. That unforgettable Sunday morning was the morning that my daughter lost her father. January 3, 2010 will be a day that I remember forever. It was the last day that I could ever talk to my husband. It was the last day that I waited for his return. It was the last day that I was happy. My hope in writing these letters to my husband is to help me sort out what I am feeling and in a way still talk to the love of my life. I’m not writing for sympathy or attention. I am writing for myself and for those who want to try to understand what it feels like to lose the one person you can live without.
A Love Interrupted
At 21, Taryn found herself a military widow. This blog is a combination of her thoughts, songs, blurbs, confusion and more.
One More Thing
In the life of a widow and single mom, life simply cannot function quite like that of other people. Decisions can never be made without anticipating a million other issues that most people will never even have to consider. Pretty much every aspect of my life is governed by this rule. It’s always… One More Thing.
Home Is With You
There are never farewells; just love, just - continuation. I love, adore, admire, miss, and draw strength from the love of my soul mate, my hero, my soldier, my one and only, WL. I love you babe.
Moments All Mine

I have always been an opinionated person and in the words of Maxine, “I will defend to your death my right to my opinion.” As the title says, it is a blog that is ALL MINE. Life did not end for me after my husband was killed in Iraq… It began again. My journey, my attempt to muddle through and make sense. That’s what this blog is about. Moments all mine and living again.
A Love Eternal
David has left me with so much… His love, strength, memories… and his name. Together we prove that love can be stronger than death. I AM HART. His Hart.

She had a premonition that she was supposed to help other widows, and she is doing just that with her blog.
