I met Brenda online when Darin died. She reached out to me when I was falling apart and full of despair. Brenda was a young widow and she knew what I needed to hear. She guided me when I thought no one understood what I was going through. Widows belong to a special sisterhood and Brenda is an example of the love and support provided by the members of this very special club.
I chose Brenda as a KickAss Woman as a tribute to her strength. Despite losing her husband to a rare form of cancer, she moved on through the tragedy and discovered life again.
Brenda is writing a memoir about her journey through love and loss called Ebb From The Shoreline.
“Ebb from the Shoreline: How I found hope in love, anticipation and loss is a memoir that tells the story of how I fell for an internet love over a thousand miles away, despite my prior dating history telling me to walk away. As our love grew, we balanced our long distance relationship, battled U.S. immigration, fought through financial setbacks, and were finally smooth sailing when a rare cancer diagnosis forced us both to leave our jobs and rely on friends, family and faith to see us through an intense 4 month battle with cancer that ended in my husband’s death. “
Brenda has started a KickStarter campaign for her book and I encourage you all to check it out.
Thank you Brenda for being an inspiration to myself and other young widows. xo
