5 Wishes for The Readers of Widows Quest

When I write the Widows Quest blog I write with 5 wishes in mind
- That a post will help that person sitting alone, thinking of giving up, that there is hope.
- That we build a community of grief support, that means there is someone here for every grieving person. No one needs to be truly alone.
- That through my growth I show people that there is a way of finding a new life.
- That through my honesty, I show people that for each 2 steps forward we will suffer a step back. That is normal and that it is a long process…but that we get there in the end.
- A way of sharing tips and tricks to overcoming the bereavement. We are all truly different and the more we share as a group of widows and widowers, the more we help each person find something that will help their loneliness, depression and grief.
I am not sure that all my wishes will come true, but isn’t the joy in the trying?

Thankyou for your webiste and your faithfulness in connecting with your readers. I especially relate to the pain you suffered probably because it has been not quit 4 months since I lost my amazing husband Jack. You show me a way to survive this and go on, but at the same time allow me to cherish the love and to always remember. I hope to be able to help people as you have someday. Sincerely, Judy Kuhn
Judy – gosh that means so much. You know that I have this burning desire that anyone who suffers loss, never feels alone. I am someone who doesn’t outwardly show the pain, I keep it in, wanting to be strong. The blog allows that pain out, yet I hope gives people that belief that live will return to a new normal at some point. I did feel alone, I never want others to feel like that…and will always be here for them. When people take the time to leave a comment like yours, it means the world as I feel that even in some small way I am helping someone…thanks so much
