Widow......
It's been a year since I lost my husband...and not really sure what stage I'm in (grieving, anger etc)....but I'm wondering if there's a place on where with others who have lost spouses....does anyone know, if so can you please let me know.
Really appreciate it.
Re: Widow......
I'm very sorry for your loss.
A couple of other widows have posted on here in the past few months... not sure if they still check the board, though.
I'm sure there are message boards / communities specific to loss, but I am not familiar with them. There aren't any on the Nest that I know of -- this is as close as it gets, I'm afraid.
I am sorry for your loss. My spouse did not pass, but I would be glad to support in any way I can.
I know there was one woman, I believe her name was AutumBride(somthing) who lost her husband and posted on a couple boards.
Hi and welcome. I'm very sorry for your loss and can't imagine what you are going through.
You're welcome to post here any time .
I've sadly gotten to know several widows through my best friend, who is also a widow. They are all at different places, even those who lost their husbands on the same day (military) I do know that there is no set rules of stages you go through and I tihnk it's common to go through all the stages of grief multiple times and in various orders, etc. There is no "right" way to experience grief as it's different for everyone.
I know she read "Widows wear Stilletto's" and found it helpful.
I'm a widow, too. I lost my husband to brain cancer in Feb 2010, so I'm coming up on two years. I stumbled in here one day when I thought I was ready to "start over"; turns out I'm not so much ready, but I like this group of women, so I stuck around. I also recommend ywbb.org, but you have to join and be approved before you can post, and that took a couple of days.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you find camaraderie here.
It's good to know that there is no "right" way to handle this....cause I'd be in trouble....but I'm making it and that's what matters. I'll be getting that book to read...thank you.
You're right....I'm glad I came too...you all are a great group of women! I'm going to check this link out:)....thank you so very much.
Sorry to bug you....but I'm not familiar....can you tell me how to PM, please.
Any assistance you appreciated.
I'm so sorry for your lost as well....some can't imagine. I guess for me, I've been trying to find some way to heal and deal (if that makes sense)....and this site has been helpful and supportive in soooo many other ways, I figured I'd try it out for the widow/ counseling information. I'll check the site as well....any information is appreciated.
Thank you again.
