Facilitator Andrea says: We're just a group of lesbians who lost our person. We meet on Zoom every other Monday evening. We check in and share anything that is on our minds or in our hearts. Very casual. It’s a great space to connect with others who completely understand how profound this loss is. The women in the group have been widowed as recently as a few months to more than 10 years. Most have been widowed between 6 months and 5 years. No pressure or hard feelings if you wants to check out this group and then you feel it's not for you.
