The author, not pictured, lost her husband in her 20s. Justin Paget/Getty Images My first husband died unexpectedly when we were both in our 20s. Becoming a widower taught me that romantic love is not the only kind of love out there. Getting married again doesn't mean that I will erase my widowhood. As I filled out the intake paperwork at my annual physical , I quickly clicked through all the standard demographic information, halting as I reached the marital status question. I hovered over the dropdown menu before clicking "widowed." I realized that next year I would be clicking "married." Though I will consider myself both "married" and "widowed" after my coming wedding, the binaries that govern paperwork will not honor this joint identity, erasing a title that I have come to embrace in the past four years since my husband's death . I was a widow in my 20s Eli died in an accident when he was 25. We were newlyweds, embarking o...

Layoffs are on the rise triggering, Goldman economists to speculate the US job market may be softening, according to a new report. baona/Getty Images WARN-related layoff filings have risen to their highest levels in nearly a decade, Goldman found. Outplacement firm data showed corporate layoff announcements peaking outside a recession. Goldman said it has not concluded that AI is driving a significant share of recent job cuts.

I made a salad, soup, and a sandwich using leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. Terri Peters In preparation for Thanksgiving , I looked for great ways to use up leftover turkey breast. The sandwich I made with leftover turkey and sides took more effort than it was worth. I made a soup that was so delicious, I'd make another turkey just to have an excuse to eat it. Most years, I cook a full Thanksgiving meal for my family, which results in us having lots of leftovers in the fridge. Instead of heating up the same dishes all week, I decided to try three recipes that could give our extra turkey (and some sides) new life. From a simple turkey salad to a stacked sandwich, here's how each recipe stacked up. I began by making a Thanksgiving-inspired sandwich. Terri Peters Our typical Thanksgiving leftovers include things like turkey breast, cranberry sauce, mac and cheese , mashed potatoes, and green-bean casserole. For the first recipe, I gathered them all up to make...

Courtesy of Bridget Shirvell Regularly updating my will is an act of love and responsibility for my daughter. My parents modeled practical estate planning, making death a normalized topic in our family. I think having open conversations about wills and decluttering can ease future burdens. When I was growing up, every time my parents left to go on a vacation without the kids , they would post their itinerary on the fridge, remind us to behave for whichever relative was in charge that week, and then, almost as an afterthought, say, "The wills are in the cabinet." Whether they were flying to Greece for three weeks or driving to New Hampshire for a long weekend, the simple yet jarring reminder was always the same. The wills are in the cabinet . My siblings and I didn't take them too seriously. I recall more than a few eye rolls, but we knew what cabinet they meant. The me...
