14 thoughts on remembrance and resilience

14 Thoughts on Remembrance and Resilience Female Motivational Speakers: - Today marks 14 years since my first husband’s death. Brett died of a medulloblastoma brain tumor, which typically affects children ages five and under. Except he was 32 when diagnosed and 39 when he died. Some anniversaries hit especially hard. This one feels that way maybe because the date nearly slipped my mind. I got caught up in the business of life, which is normal and expected.

Here I am, now in my early fifties and parenting our 16-year-old twins who weren’t even three years old when Brett died. Here I am living in Denver (always a dream of Brett’s) and remarried to a wonderful man who also happened to be widowed with two children. Here I am feeling happy and grateful while reflecting on 14 years since Brett’s death.
