To a new adventure.

After a year of my grandmother being gone, I no longer could live with my grandfather. My husband and I decided for now to move into an extended stay hotel. Been here about a week now. It’s very nice, security is a plus, therefore I know my children are safe. Our neighbors are very nice. It isn’t ideal but I couldn’t take my grandfather’s toxicity anymore, especially lashing out doing things in front of my children. Telling me that I should move on, because he has, meanwhile grief has no time limit. I’m very emotional and only because the home that I grew up in with them is now no longer a home to me. Where I didn’t want to leave that house at all, to no longer wanting to ever step food inside those walls ever again. My grandfather has ruined my childhood core memories being there from a child to an adult. He’s pushed me away beyond far and I never thought the person who raised me would not be there for me in both our time of need. It’s crazy when people pass how others show their true emotions. While I try to cope with my depression, here’s to finally being with my children, husband and myself in our own place. Maybe it’s everything I needed and just haven’t realized it yet.

... Read moreTransitioning after the loss of a loved one can be incredibly challenging. Many individuals struggle with feelings of sadness and disconnection as they navigate their emotions and relationships. It’s essential to create a supportive environment, much like I found in the extended stay hotel that prioritizes security and comfort. Coping mechanisms such as journaling, talking with friends, or finding local support groups can aid in processing grief. Extended stay accommodations, like Woodspring Suites, offer a temporary yet stable place for families during tumultuous times, allowing them to feel safe and focus on healing. Remember, embracing change is a vital part of moving forward, and finding the right space to do that can lead to new adventures and personal growth.

Two adorable cartoon animals, a brown dog and a capybara, are carving pumpkins for Halloween. They are wearing festive hats, surrounded by colorful decorations like a banner, books, and plants, all vibrantly colored in a Cocowyo coloring book.
Two cute bear-like animals are building a pink and brown wooden house outdoors. One holds a hammer, the other a plank, with a small yellow duck nearby. The scene features apple trees and green grass, colored with Ohuhu markers.

Date night is such an important part of a healthy relationship. It is vital to set aside time to spend with your partner and connect on a deeper level than day to day life often allows. However, it's very easy to end up falling into the routine of having the same date night over and over again
