Beautiful, Bitter Reality

September 21, 2021 / Katie Caldwell-Burchett / Leave a comment

Olivia has been extra heavy on my mind lately. She always is this time of year as we get closer to the anniversary of her passing, but this year my grief seems to have kicked up quite a few notches. When I first lost Olivia I put up so many walls to protect myself that … Continue reading Beautiful, Bitter Reality

Loving Quietly

July 8, 2021July 8, 2021 / Katie Caldwell-Burchett / Leave a comment

I've been thinking a lot lately about family, friendships, and how to love the people I care about in the best way possible. There are some people around me who are hurting desperately right now. Some are really sick, while many others are navigating through the tough illness of someone they love. Others are actively … Continue reading Loving Quietly

The Calm Before The Storm

June 2, 2021 / Katie Caldwell-Burchett / Leave a comment

This picture was taken almost one year ago to the day. Virtual school was officially out for the summer. We had made it through a spring filled with virtual school/homeschool and me working from home full time, so we celebrated with ice cream on the beach and our first camping trip of the summer! It … Continue reading The Calm Before The Storm

Grief Is Love

May 2, 2021 / Katie Caldwell-Burchett / Leave a comment

Today is International Bereaved Mother's Day. In a million years I never thought I would be a part of this group, but here I sit, nearly 8 years into my bereavement of my own daughter. And my grief is still as real today as it was all those years ago when Olivia took her last … Continue reading Grief Is Love

Mom, Did We Even Try To Save Her?

April 7, 2021April 7, 2021 / Katie Caldwell-Burchett / 3 Comments

Have you ever been in a place where you are soul crushingly tired? You feel the weight of the world on your shoulders and your soul just feels heavy? That is where I have been lately. There has been so much going on. Between the business of life, challenges with the kids, and other circumstances … Continue reading Mom, Did We Even Try To Save Her?

Social Distancing Does NOT Mean Social Distance

March 19, 2020 / Katie Caldwell-Burchett / Leave a comment

Surreal. That is a word I have used often in the last few days. I absolutely cannot believe how drastically life has changed in such a short amount of time! Since last Friday my family has been mostly hunkered down in our home. We realized late last week how serious this pandemic was and knew … Continue reading Social Distancing Does NOT Mean Social Distance

Self Care During Impossible Times

March 17, 2020 / Katie Caldwell-Burchett / Leave a comment

These are dark and frustrating times. People are scared, uncertain, and unsure of how to go forward. All of us are worried about countless things right now that are out of our control.... Will I still have a job when this is over? And if I don't or have to take a big pay cut... … Continue reading Self Care During Impossible Times

In A Moment

March 16, 2020 / Katie Caldwell-Burchett / Leave a comment

If you had told me last Monday that our world was going to be nearly shut down just one week later I would have laughed it off. I would have said no way and moved on with my day. But yet today I sit here in disbelief as I navigate trying to understand this completely … Continue reading In A Moment

Time

May 1, 2019May 1, 2019 / Katie Caldwell-Burchett / Leave a comment

Time. There never seems to be quite enough of it. Whether you wish you had a little more time with your kids on the weekend, a few more days to spend on vacation, or even a few more hours before you have to make that big presentation at work; time always seems to be lacking. … Continue reading Time

6 Years Later

February 13, 2019 / Katie Caldwell-Burchett / Leave a comment

This morning as I was eating breakfast with my little boys, I made the mistake of getting on Facebook. The first image to catch my eye was a memory from 6 years ago. It was a reminder that on this day 6 years ago we were celebrating Olivia's very last chemo treatment after she beat … Continue reading 6 Years Later
