carolynne said… Terri, there is no skill or training in the world that can prepare you for the loss of your husband. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'm glad you've found Widowed Village. It's been a tremendous source of support for me. I hope it will be for you, as well. If you haven't already, I recommend also reading "Transcending Loss" by Ashley Davis Bush. It offers not only testimonies from others who have experienced loss, but also advice on processing your grief and moving forward. I wish you strength and peace.

Welcome to our community.... I hope we can keep you company on your journey ahead. Please look around a bit and read this basic introduction to the site. 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 want to jump in, join a few Groups and introduce yourself on this thread, or try our Chat room. We all use the site differently, but we hope you feel comfortable sharing among us in the coming days, weeks, and months.
Big hug!

I'm so sorry for your loss Terri, but I'm glad you found us. This journey we are all on is like nothing we've ever had to do before. Emotions and our hearts run are lifes right now, instead of our minds. So we have so much less control then we are use to. I pray you will find some peace here as I have .
