jklsgirl- 

I use meetup.com it is a site for people with similar hobbies/problems to meet up form groups, hang out, etc. (NOT A DATING SITE LOL) This is how I found local support groups in my area. You might give it a try too.

We spent the day with my sis, bil and niece and then had our other sister, her friend and our mom over for pizza supper. It was as good as day as could be expected and I am so lucky to have such supportive family and friends. Happy Mother’s day to all you Moms!

Does anyone know of any grief or widow support groups in the Jacksonville, FL area? I recently moved in with family that lives near Jacksonville and I am having a hard time finding a non-religious/non-denominational support group. There's a meetup group, but for some unexplained reason my membership request was declined. Thanks for your help.

Hi CrazyWidow - we are researching starting a 501c3. I've worked for one for the last 6 years, but not too familiar with starting one! Thanks!

I started a team based off of an organization.  My team is Team Sarcoma: Keepin' it Kevin - it's a fundraising team that raises money for Angiosarcoma Awareness and the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative.  If you're looking at 501(c)3 questions, though, I can't help.

Has anyone on here started an organization in memory of their spouse? If so, I would love to chat.

Thanks CrazyWidow! I've been thinking about getting his astrological symbol and maybe doing something with dates that are meaningful to me. Now that I have a tattoo I can see how they can become addicting.

My current husband would LOVE that - he loves him some Marley.  Great tat :)  Thanks for sharing!!  What would you get next?

Hi CrazyWidow, I like your tattoo! It's very nice and sounds very meaningful. I finally got my memorial tattoo about 3 weeks ago. I got one of his tattoos on my arm in the same place as his, just a little bit closer to the wrist. Here are our tattoos next to each other. This was my first tattoo, but I am already thinking of what I am going to get next.

This is a link to my tattoo - I got it in April 2010 - Kevin LOVED surf fishing and was canadian - very much a memorial tattoo.  I'm been thinking about adding into it to signify some other stages in my life.  I think I want to add a typewriter key B for my writing stage of life, and then a third (hanging down from the maple leaf) but haven't decided yet.
