So glad you found this site so soon, it took me 2 years to find it. Please know that you are in safe company here, we are all familiar with the Ups and Downs and are here to lend an ear and a shoulder to cry on whenever you need!
As they say, take baby steps and be proud of anything you can, because we need to believe in ourselves. Don't let anyone dictate to you about what to do, they certainly don't know what you are dealing with in terms of pain and circumstance. Listen to counsel, but be OK with your own progress. You may have to remind others that It's not a race. No competition, no winners or losers. Just friends for you here at WV.

You can find more information about how the community works under "Help!" in the navigation bar, and we'll send you a few newsletters with tips and ideas in the coming weeks. If you need a little more help, go to the Home page and look in the right hand column to see the link to a "Help Desk" form.
We all use the site differently, but we hope you feel comfortable sharing among us in the coming days, weeks, and months.
Big hug!

Joyce said… Dawn: I was able to do a little reading on chat this afternoon before I joined in and I'm sorry to hear about your husband's accident. My husband died October 11, 2011 after a 2.5 yr battle with cancers. I'm at nine months, don't remember what I said in chat so I might be repeating myself (we call it widow brain). Just take baby steps, nothing needs to be done right away and everything can be done when you are ready. People will think you need to be making better progress, it happens to everyone, but until they've been in our shoes, trust me they don't have a clue. So don't let anyone rush you into doing anything. Read discussions and blogs here they will truly help you. Sending hugs!!!

Welcome Blazer: I'm sorry for your recent loss but I'm glad you found your way to this site. I know you will find the same comfort and understanding here at Widowed Village that I have. In the beginning I just read the blogs and posts and lurked in chat. Post and join us in chat when you feel comfortable. It is nice to be among people who "Get It"
