I am what they call a "young widow", and have been since Aug. 2009.
I am starting this group because:

I know how good it feels to talk to others that "get it"
I know how powerful it is to support each other on the journey
This group will focus on moving forward and rekindling the excitement and hope of happiness and joy ahead!

JOIN THIS GROUP if you want to live with purpose, passion, and joy after loss!

    "I lost my husband of 37 years on December 10, 2011 to a sudden, massive heart attack. He was 57 and was enjoying his second year of retirement from the teaching. We were having such a good time and having so much fun. I am devastated without him."

    "Pam and David, I hate to do this at last minute. But unfortunately, I am going to be unable to get out tomorrow for the meeting at Bob Evans. When the weather is bad (even this cold), its really hard for me to get out...."

    "Trying to spread the word of a get together - How about if we try to get together on Saturday, Feb 11 in the early afternoon. This weekend would be a prime time, so that we can remember our loved one just before Valentine's Day...."
