I'm looking for first-hand validation that I'm not going to lose anything precious to me on Facebook if I go ahead and memorialize my husband's page. I'm asking because people seem to have problems…Continue

"I was never able to get a clear answer about this, even after writing to FB, which means that I haven't memorialized the page. Which means I'm still married on FB. Which is awkward because I'm dating. I may…"

"I didn't request it to be memorialized and we are both still married on each other's page. Just don't understand who would do this. I have his passwords and I need to speak to an attorney and get a court order."
Maria Louisa replied to Mozzie's discussion Facebook Memorializing- what exactly happens?
"For this reason I didn't change my status on FB. I am still "married" to him, and this is how I feel in my heart anyway, so it is all god. I keep his page active and "tag" him if my sons post old photos of the family,…"

"Hello Mozzie, sorry for your loss. I hope a road trip helps you, it seems like it might do the soul some good. I live in Oklahoma, I just wanted to let you know of a museum you might want to check out. I'm not sure how old your son is, but this…"

PrincessWidowGirl said… Sorry for your loss, Mozzie. I don't come onto this site very often, so I'm also sorry for the delayed response. I love Portland and the surrounding areas very much. I was born, raised, and spent most of my life in SoCal. I have lived here for 14 years. Both places are beautiful and unique in their own way. Right now, many of the trees here are aflame in Fall colors and the beauty is amazing and gorgeous. Portland reminds me in some ways of SoCal in that both the beach/coast and mountains are within driving distance. And NO, it does not rain every day. I know that I have grown to appreciate the sunshine more than I ever did in SoCal. I hope this helps!

katydid said… Sorry for your loss, Mozzie. No problem about asking question about living here. I have lived here all of my life and it is the most beautiful area that I have been in. My husband and I did a lot of traveling for a few years and we always thought this was prettier than anywhere else.
Ask anything you like about this area and I'll see what I can tell you.

AlanRRT said… Hi Mozzie,
I am so sorry for your loss. I see that you're in Buena Park, there is a group of widows in the area that get together once in a while for lunch or other activities. On the upper right hand part of this page is a list of "Events", our get togethers are usually posted there. I hope you can get with us, it is a great group.
I'm glad you found this site, it is a wonderful support.
