About me

At 62, I am newly widowed. Joe, my college sweetheart and husband of 39 years, died in January of Parkinson’s disease. On May 1, with little more than two weeks’ planning, I ended a successful 35-year career as a reporter and editor and the 50- to 60-hour weeks that went with it. On May 2, my 38-year-old son married for the first time (finally!), making me a mother-in-law and instant grandma.

Join me as I ride this tsunami of change wherever it may take me. I’m not sure where it will all wind up, but I’m approaching this journey with humor and a growing trust in God. -- Carole
