I'm doing a big road trip with my toddler to think things through and visit friends.  I'd especially like to meet up with others who are rebuilding their lives after loss.  I've lived in LA the last…Continue

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'm so sorry that happened to you.  From what I remember, anyone can request that an account be memorialized -- it does not have to be a family member.  I guess if FB finds out and confirms that a member is deceased, they…"

"Thank you - the thing is that I did not memorialize him.  So have no clue how this could of happened.  It is one thing if you choose to do this.  I knew his password, could go and read his private messages and now can't.  "

Hi Mozzie,

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!

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.

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.

Alan

Hello mozzie.  I am so sorry for your loss.  I never really know what to say but welcome to  this site.  It is so very hard for people who have not lost their significant other to understand what your going through.  People here all have lost their love and understand.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  I will do my best to help you.  I will send you a friend request, if you wish you can accept.
