“La vie en rose”
(Potential Trigger Warning) I am going to be very honest, this was an extremely tough week for me. It started with work on Thursday morning. I walk into my daily morning meeting and was told by a coworker that a former (but recent) client tried to complete suicide by jumping off a bridge but lived….

“Leave it behind”
I wrote last week about Aria’s graduation. I don’t know if I specified that I was going to attend. I have known these kids for 8 years. I WANTED to see them graduate 8th grade. I wanted to congratulate them and hug them and wish them well, they deserved that! I KNOW, that I did…

Graduation
Throughout Aria’s life, I never posted where she went to school on my social media. Because of my career and things that were happening with my family; I thought it was best to keep Aria’s location as anonymous as possible. For her protection and safety. Aria started kindergarten in 2010 at Lake Harriet Lower Campus….

” Hi Bug”
First off, I want to thank my friend Korey Berg for creating Doyoucarenow.life. Also, for making this blog so beautiful. I am beyond grateful for your generosity. Secondly, this blog is going to jump around a bit. It makes sense to me because it happened to me. But, if you have any questions or need…

“What a beautiful thing”
I sent a text message to all of bugs family members, asking for memories and photos to share with the blog for this week. I figured last week was heavy on statistics. Aria is more than a statistic. She was full of life and love. Most of the people who read this blog know that….

Identity vs. Role Confusion
This weekend was emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausting. On Sunday evening, I text my boss and told her I needed a “mental health day” on Monday. She of course, granted it. By Tuesday, I was well rested and ready to start my week. My first client comes in and I can tell she’s distressed. We…

3 months
I am numb this week. May 6th marked 3 months since Buggy passed. Along with the upcoming holiday, Mothers day. All I want to do, is lay in bed all day. Pretend its just a regular Sunday. My sister is coming home, to help ease the blow. Mother’s day is always at my Mothers house….

Target
I never knew that Target would be one of my “triggers.” I didn’t realize until I was walking down each isle and it hit me. I was no longer shopping for two, but for one. Target was my one-stop-shop. I get my food and all other necessary and unnecessary items from there. The once heavily…

Billie
I had planned on writing about something different this week, however, I have to touch on the Billie Eilish video. Aria sang that song, Hostage, by Billie Eilish on Saturday, February 2nd, 2019. Four days before she passed. I posted a video of that performance on my Instagram. Along with a paragraph explaining how proud…

April 17th, 2019
Hi, everyone! This is new. I really have no idea what I am doing. I’m going to spend this week trying to figure out how to “blog.” So, maybe by next week this will look and flow a lot more gracefully. Today, I invite you all today to read my Bio ( hopefully it works)…
