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.

Joyce said… Welcome Ginbar: I'm sorry for your 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". When you feel comfortable, join a group,for instance, I belong to Widowed in 2011 and long term illness. Under forums at the top of the page, there is a tab for forums, scroll down until you find Introduce yourself.. some people start from there. If you have any questions, please just message me.
