- Just read your post on Widowed in 2011. I'm not a member, so can't post a response there ... but wanted you to know how very pleased I am to read where you are today. Love your statements: "I have spread my wings and I chose to soar." and "Not to replace what I cherished, but to nurture who I am today." Be happy, Barb - and know that we love and support you. Hope to see you again sometime in the chat room.

Lyn said… Hi Patter, I just realized that this "option" was here. I'm not very savvy about the whole social media thing. I do follow both your blogs whenever I can. You have a gift with your writing - it touches me for some reason. I hope things are going well for you and you are settling down a bit. This definitely sucks worse than anything I've ever been through. Today was 18 months to the day that I lost Jeff. It was just all so unnecessary and avoidable. What a waste.
