I started this blog with a very vague idea of it being, mostly, a platform for my book Grieving Futures. Then I started graduate school, my ex-husband moved out of the house, I changed many aspects of my lifestyle (food, exercise, haircut!), lost my car, became a published romance novel author, got a job…you get the idea.

All that and I still did not have much of an idea of what to do with this blog.

I have started a more general blog (kimboo york is kbs) to discuss aspects of information science, health, writing, and my life as a whole. So that left AYoLD as…what? I mentioned in a post here earlier this year that, surprisingly, I do not discuss mourning issues much at AYoLD, which is more than a little oxymoronic. Emphasis on “moronic.” 😉

Rather than letting AYoLD slide into being a general “improve your life!” blog, of which there are about 127 million already on the web, I’m going to rebrand this blog to deal specifically with grief, caretaking, and survivorship issues.

The location won’t change, but the name will, along with the graphics, the layout, and the tone of the posts I make. I will be posting the rest of Grieving Futures here serially, though, and the goal in general is to post more regularly which I think will be possible now that I have a much better grasp of what this blog is here to do.

As always, my goal is to help others discover that they aren’t alone in their grief, and to let mourners know that no matter how they feel or what they do, they aren’t really crazy. We just feel that way sometimes.  <3
