Those who have lost a spouse or partner know there's no time limit to heal.

I'd like this group to meet for discussions on healing, expressing your grief, and attend outings to have a little fun with others who understand we don't have to smile all the time, that a flow of tears can come at any given moment, and we support each other in whatever mood we are in.

GUYS ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND TOO!!!!!
