Hi Peg. I'm so sorry for your loss, but you've come to a wonderful place filled with those who understand how difficult this is (I lost my husband in Sept. 2010 after a long cancer battle). I see you've already joined some groups - that's a great way to get connected to others who have similar experiences. Request some friends, jump into some of the forum discussions, try out the chat room, just immerse yourself in this very special place. I look forward to getting acquainted with you here in 'Widville'.
