Today I got a piece of mail that was addressed to my husband who has been deceased for five years. On the envelope it read;
"Time sensitive material."

About Poor Widow Me
- Copyright 2010 by Carol Scibelli

- On April 13,2006 my easy street life took a turn I never expected. My High School sweetheart and husband of 33 years died. Jimmy was just 56. I was shocked and I was heartbroken, but "the business" of widowhood, the living on my own was an eye-opener. I had to figure out and deal with all the boring tasks I had shrewdly managed to avoid while cozily married. I began this blog, Poor Widow Me to chronicle my angst and mishaps. I wanted readers to laugh along with me that finally at 55 years old with a grown son and daughter and little granddaughter, I was forced to grow up. Finding the funny even in widowhood is natural for me. I've been a humor writer for over two decades published in the New York Times, Newsday, The Hartford Courant and I've had weekly columns in at least a dozen publications. Please look for my new book "Poor Widow Me: Moments of Feeling & Dealing & Finding the Funny Along the Way"

Where does these companies get their mailing lists? My husband died 5 yrs ago too, I am still receiving Life Insurance offers addressed to HIM. If the company includes a postage paid return envelope, I mark on the application "deceased" (if it is one of my good/nice days) and mail it to them in THEIR envelope...make them pay postage. :)
I've been getting mail like this since my husband passed away too. Unbelievable isn't it. I received a letter from a friend of his addressed to him, and incredibly, she was here and said good-bye to him. SO, why the letter? I didn't open it, I just sent it back with, sorry he passed away 3 years ago about 2 months after you visited. He was sick and dying.
Yeah.... time sensitive... grrr
Hi, Carol!
We met last year at Camp Widow 2010 in San Diego. I ran into you and Tony scoping out the meeting rooms a day early. You gave me "A Widow Bit of Poor Widow Me: Excerpts from the Blog," which I just rediscovered while going through some papers. Thank you for the smiles and laughs and outright snorts. You are positively hilarious, but you already knew that. I wish you the best and hope you're doing well.
Hey Theresa,
How are you? So great to hear from you...especially when you are saying such good things about me..hahahaha...hearing from you asking for money...not so good..Doing great..expanded that little booklet to a real book of 'moments'...will be at Camp Widow with it this year...are you going?
