"I just lost my wedding band. Out of the blue. It wasn't loose but now it's gone and the craziest part - my finger doesn't show evidence that it was ever there after 15 years. I was devastated at first but now I believe it's a…"

"Dedee: Yes as said below, losing friendships seems to go with widowhood. People don't seem to know how to deal with us so often back off. Sometimes I think they realize that they may face the same thing some day and don't…"

On August 6th I lost my best friend, confidante, husband, father to our 3 kids - my soul mate Kevin in a motorcycle accident. The man I love and the one I could fight with and have so much fun with. We were friends for 25 years and together for 18 years and I miss him more than I can stand.
Like everyone else, some days are okay and others are so hard. The most shocking thing I found was that after a funeral that was attended by more than 500 people, only a few remained in our…

My husband passed away Nov 2011 due to a sudden heart attack. We have a 2 year old son. I know what you mean about people remaining after. After his funeral "friends" called to check on me or to help babysit but now nothing and I can barely get them to babysit. Im thankful for my small support group that I do have and for my mom for raising me to be strong. I still have my moment and my heart still aches for him. What would have been our 10th wedding anniversary is coming up on April 6th. Whenever you need to talk feel free to inbox me

Welcome Dedee to the one group I wish none of us had to join, but I'm glad it's here now that we need it. I hope you will find the same peace and comfort here like I have over the past 9 months. My journey is long from over but being here with people that truly understand has helped in so many ways. We will always be here if you need us.

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".
