About This Blog: “The Empty Side of the Bed”

The Empty Side of the Bed is a space born from loss, love, and longing. It’s my attempt to put words to the silence that followed after my partner passed away. The title speaks to the physical and emotional emptiness I face each day — the quiet moments, the memories, the rituals we once shared, and the life I now navigate alone with my teenage son.

This blog is not just about mourning; it’s about remembering. It’s about holding space for grief in all its forms — from the ache of loneliness to the bittersweet joy of remembering the love that was. I write not only for myself but also for anyone walking this painful, often isolating path. Here, you’ll find reflections on love, loss, healing, and everything in between — the raw and the real.

Grief changes us, but it also connects us. I hope that in sharing my journey, others might feel a little less alone on theirs.
