I'm so sorry for your loss Beth, but I'm glad you've joined us on this healing journey. I wish none of us ever needed a place like this, but now that we do it's so much better to travel with friends at our sides. You will find great comfort and understanding here, you will also make many new friends along the way. I joined 9 months ago and would still be lost without everyone here.This is a safe environment to discuss anything you need, and you will never be judged. I know I have found many topics that my friends and family just don't understand or don't want to discuss. But here everyone is so very open and understanding it will put you at ease. Welcome and please join in when your ready.
