Personal essays on love, life, grief,
and becoming.

A Note From Me To You...
Dear You,
I’ve spent half of my life studying the human mind, but nothing in my professional life prepared me for the death of the man I couldn’t live without.
When he died, the world split open.
Every truth I’d lived by cracked like glass.
What followed was a hunger to find others who had survived the unsurvivable — and to read every voice that had dared to write from grief’s depths.
This space was born there.
In the dark.
From a woman I had not yet become, and a heart that had nowhere left to bleed.
He once made me promise that I would only ever write my own truth — never for the approving gaze of others.
And he promised me that he would never leave me.
Neither of us have broken our promise.
I’m glad you’re here — welcome.
I'll put the kettle on.
Warmly,
N.J. Wilde
