hey there…

Hi. I’m “Helen”. I am a mother, artist, and writer. I have been married to my best friend, a special ops soldier for 10+ years. I write about the deep things: deployments, grief, mental health, PST, and postpartum. I envision us pulling up to a table to share a meal and talk about real stuff. The grit. I hope that through sharing these sometimes taboo subjects, you may find a shoulder to lean on during times of trial. My friend, this is not an easy life, but you are strong.

Thanks for stopping by.
