We do have a couple of Forum discussions dedicated to Camp Widow East 2013.  Here are links to those two discussions: 

CWE 2013 - was used for campers to get acquainted and to ask/answer questions before we headed off to camp.

Postcards from CWE 2013 - was created as a place to share our camp experiences.

Hi Dianne, Rhonda & Janine,

I will put some of the information that I got at camp on here if this is the place. Many of the ideas I got from camp are going to make a difference.

So....

Perhaps someone can make this be the official place since (2009, 2010, 2011 or 2012) is already here, might as well keep all the camp talk together. I am finally getting out of the house since returning from camp. The car accident on the way down there really bummed me out. Some let down after comming home to this friggin house...was so nice to be away. Had to have the plumber here at 7:30 (after two hours he was still clueless why the hot water does not work sometimes...get this next time it happens I need to call him. wtf???) Spent the rest of the day on the phone regarding getting my car fixed...I hate making decisions about car buying...and I pretty much am getting short stick since after it gets fixed about 7-$10,000 in damages...I will have a car that now has a dirty car facts sheet when I go to sell/trade it in. I just do not want to ever get inside that car again...it has millions of pieces of glass all over the inside from the rear window.

Hi Diane and Rhonda .... this should be the right place, unless you wanted to create a new group just for Camp Widow East 2013.  Maybe more people would see that and go to it.  
It was great to see you guys there!!!  :)

just back from SD 2012 and rehashing events and impressions. Guess I came away with the thought that I'm not sure this type of event is for me. I get stressed in the city and in crowded areas, mostly because of the noise, but then I don't know how you'd get away from that in a place big enough to handle the group's needs.  This was definitely a move out of my comfort zone; I'm a real "country mouse".

 I really liked the classes and intensives--some were so big we never got much past the introductions, others were small and we had time to share and support. I have my favorite speakers--likely yours, too--but I can't over-stress how impressed I was with Audrey Pellicano and her Seven Steps to Health and Wellness. She laid out what I think  are THE basic foundation stones to healing our grieving bodies and minds. This is the gift of information we so sorely need in the first year as the fog starts to lift, and we're searching for anchors and bearings. The information on how to feed body and soul can help us start to regain our health and some peace of mind during the aftermath of loss. (translation: Feeling shitty?? Here's a way to NOT feel so shitty!) If any of you are going to order the set of DVD's from Camp, you will find her material. She supplied a book, a synopsis, an sleep mask (using it Audry) and some wonderful aromatherapy scent. I've been trying the easy counted-breaths meditation and wow does it work!

Michele's keynote was amazing and it was good to be introduced to some of the other instrumental forces behind SSLF and CW. Thank you all for the hard work and dedication to pull this off. not sure I'd do it again, but it was the setting I was uncomfortable with, NOT the people!

Thank you Michelle, Michele, Robin(s), Barbara, Jeanine, and everyone who make this happen.  I have had he most awesome time.  I appreciate every action you have taken to provide the knowledge, the sharing, and the friendships that are being created in this forum.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Went to my first Camp Widow, which was also the first CW East in Myrtle Beach. It was a wonderful supportive environment. I brought home so many memories especially the message release after the banquet Sat.night so very moving, words can not describe the connections and energy in the air felt by all.

I've been to all three, and plan to attend again this year! So grateful for the friendships I made through Camp.
