Hi Sex and the 60 Fans,

Most of you know me and my story by now. My husband Kevin passed away going on three years ago and I have been attempting to pick up the pieces of my life and move on. Sex and the 60 chronicles that attempt and I hope has and will continue to amuse you as well as be provocative and thought-provoking. Yes, Sex and the 60 follows a significant part of my life – the part that is “moving on”, “getting over it”, “getting past it” and finding my way. But frankly there is another me – one that is equally valid and is as powerful in intent and meaning. That is the grieving me. I have not shared that part of me with many people but live with her everyday. She too needs an outlet - a place to deposit her thoughts.

It is for that reason that I have started a second blog. It is called 2-1. I warn you that it is not for everyone and I will not be hurt or disappointed if you cannot or don’t want to read it. It is painful to write and may be painful to read but it is what I and millions of others who have lost someone so dear to them live with. They, like I, no longer know their own life, their purpose and can no longer clearly imagine their future. There was a quote attributed to Colette (although I cannot find it on Google). It supposedly comes from a letter she wrote to her lover after his death. It is: “The kindest thing I ever did for you was to outlive you” …and truer words were never written.

So I will continue to regale you and myself with the misadventures of trying to find a new romantic connection at this ridiculous age and I will continue to try to move my life ahead to a happier, lighter place, but I am compelled to and will write of the endless yearning and bottomless grief I feel at the loss of my love – Kevin.
