This was posted in one of my grief groups - I really needed to see this.
The Innkeeper
One of my fondest childhood memories was when I was in 3rd grade/class in India – at Stanley Girls High School. Don’t let the “high school” part of the name of the place throw you off … I can’t really explain so I included a wiki link! My parents had decided to take my brother... Continue Reading →
Not Ready
Note: This post is NOT meant to upset anyone or hurt anyone's feelings. It's just a log to keep track of my grief journey ...

“Keep yo’ hands outta my pockets, woman!”
One of the things I miss any time I do laundry is reminding Torey to empty his pockets out before putting his pants/shorts/jeans in the laundry bin. He'd always forget and things like mints, lighters and money would end up in the load if I didn't check. He'd forget and one time I took it... Continue Reading →
Around This Time Last Year
While making spaghetti for dinner tonight I realized how long I had kept Torey's last dinner he had cooked - which was spaghetti as well. Das and I didn't eat it ... we simply left it in the refrigerator for quite some time. Finally, one day I realized the meal was still in there -... Continue Reading →
The Safe by Torey Mitchell
It’s been an agonizing year … I still have a hard time accepting losing T-Mitch. A whole year has passed. It’s just hard to believe sometimes and yet here we are in a life without Torey and with COVID. Talk about insanity! I’ve had the chance to go through our belongings these past few weeks...

Desi Wings!
I got to hang out with Torey in my dream last night. He was in good spirits and made us (Das and I) laugh. He got hungry and before I knew it he was devouring some chicken wings! Of course, wings, right!? They looked like the desi wings I make which were his favorite kind…... Continue Reading →
It’s Been a While …
Well … the one-year mark is approaching, and it’s been heartbreaking to even acknowledge this. It’s still so hard to believe Torey’s gone sometimes. I’ve been clearing out a storage unit he used for his recycling pickups. We eventually ended up in using it as our own storage unit and man this was an undertaking... Continue Reading →

“Under the Bridge”
Torey and I are children of the 90s and Red Hot Chili Peppers were/are one of our favorite bands. Even though we weren't drug addicts, we really appreciated their "Under the Bridge" song ... we would sing our hearts out together while listening to this tune almost every time! We loved it so much that... Continue Reading →
