Widows Quest is a community, not a blog to me. Last month we trialled getting together from around the world just to talk about our lives, our fears and  – our tears. It was so wonderful to speak to other widows (or widowers) that we have arranged another grief support meeting….and remember it is free!

Hearing others talking about coping with grief, knowing they truly understood the pain, feeling the love and support was fantastic! We plan another event at the beginning of June so watch out for details.
But I want …read more

I have spoken before on Widows Quest about the benefit of the community and also how it would be great to get together and share our memories, our pain and our hopes. Well after a strange couple of weeks for us all – going by the comments to my blog posts – what about having a conversation next Sunday 26th April ? I am thinking 7pm UK time which would be 2pm New York time ? If you need to work out the timing for you then check out this world clock site.
What I was thinking as many people are …read more
