2017... you have been the most heartbreaking, yet fulfilling year of my life. I have spent the past few hours reflecting on what has happened this past year and my mind is honestly blown. Being numb with grief for 8 out of the last 12 months has made me forget everything that has happened. First off... I buried the love of my life in the most beautiful place with the most honorable burial exactly where he wanted to be laid to rest, I acquired the newest addition of our family

I persevere. I am relentless. I persist. I keep going.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE JOSH POWELL FOUNDATION! Thank you for all of your love and support this past year, and for making it possible to provide hope, courage, and strength to those affected by sarcoma cancer. May your year be filled with all of the love, happiness, health, and adventure that your hearts can hold. For my sarcoma warriors out there battling, may you continue to kick cancers ass and always find the strength to #keepgoing! Here are some memor

My grief counselor recommended this pod cast during our session on Wednesday... she thought Nora would be someone I could actually relate to, as there are not many 30 year old widows that you run into who have watched their husbands slowly die in front of their eyes at the hands of cancer. This morning I woke up to a text from a dear friend of mine Hannah Robertson-Smith, "I'm not sure if you're into podcasts but I'm listening to "Terrible, Thanks for Asking" and I thought it

Introducing the first ever Josh Powell Foundation Bad Dad Joke Battle charity event!

Strength grows in the moments when you think you can’t go on but you keep going anyway.

If you ever have the opportunity to volunteer with Wreaths Across America, DO IT! Laying wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery on Saturday was one of the most beautiful and humbling experiences of my life. Being able to lay Josh’s wreath on his headstone brought so much joy and peace to my heart during this difficult holiday season. I can only imagine how heartwarming it must be for the families who are unable to visit their loved ones during the holiday to know that they ar

Today, December 13th 2017 is the 1 year anniversary of Josh Powell's death. In celebration of his life, we went up to Liberty Park Marina in Clarksville, TN to release Chinese lanterns like we did the night of his funeral. This year we also dedicated a #keepgoing memorial lantern to all of the lives that have been taken by Sarcoma Cancer. The most incredible thing was the fact that this particular lantern had a big hole at the base, tape in the middle, and two of the four str

You were my entire world and I was yours. Life without you is just as hard as I knew it would be. But I survived. I lived one entire year without you, and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do but I did it. You continue to change lives everyday like I knew you would. You will continue to do this for as long as I live, and hopefully much longer. I can’t help but tell everyone how amazing you were in hopes to make their lives more rich, even if I’m dying inside without y

If you are struggling with friendships in your life please watch this video! This perspective is so interesting to me. I have struggled with frenemies my entire life and found this video to be very helpful in putting my experiences into words that are easy to understand. Tomorrow will be exactly 1 year since Josh died, and I have to say one of my biggest struggles since loosing him has been friendships. I think a big part of it is the fact that I am no longer the same person
