A.Y. Berthiaume is a professional writer, native Vermonter, practicing feminist, recovering middle child, wannabe superhero, and a mom who’s pretty sure she’s “winging it”.

I’M HAVING A VERY LONNIE CHRISTMAS. WRITING THROUGH GRIEF.

WRITING THROUGH GRIEF IS A NEW BLOG POST SERIES. THIS IS MY HONEST RECOUNT OF MY GRIEF AT THE LOSS OF LONNIE WHO PASSED SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 2021. THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE READ DEAR UNIVERSE, I GET IT NOW, WILL KNOW SHE’S BEEN THERE FROM THE BEGINNING. THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW ME PERSONALLY WILL KNOW SHE WAS MY SECOND MOTHER.

When December hit, I promised myself “I’ll have a very Lonnie Christmas.”

Quotes by A.Y. Berthiaume (?)

“What they wanted was for me to learn how to sift and leverage my ability to be vocal. To understand context and audience. To be able to feel the energy of a room and play to a crowd.”
― A.Y. Berthiaume, Dear Universe, I Get It Now: Letters on the Art and Journey of Being Brave and Being Me

“And, because girls/women are encouraged to make the most out of tough (read: unfair) situations, I made the attempt to embrace the role of April.”
― A.Y. Berthiaume, Dear Universe, I Get It Now: Letters on the Art and Journey of Being Brave and Being Me

“Speaking and using my voice will be required. If, and when, I don’t get it quite right, I have to be open to being corrected. If, and when, I piss other people off, because their feelings are hurt or their own participation in something is questioned, I have to be ready to have the tough conversation. Because ignoring something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or it goes away.”
― A.Y. Berthiaume, Dear Universe, I Get It Now: Letters on the Art and Journey of Being Brave and Being Me
