]]> Last Friday we held our monthly widows support group on the internet and I have to say it was wonderful. On Friday I was not down but feeling a little numb, grief does that every now and again to you, but when I heard the voices of other widows suddenly I felt warmth, I felt energised, I suppose I felt …well, not alone!

So what did I take from the hour we spent talking about our grief, our fears and our hopes for the future?

  • The difficult balance we all face between holding on to memories and letting go of the past.
  • The importance of family and friends.
  • How grief can be hard on us physically but even harder on our subconscious.
  • How plans can help you focus on the future

Our conversation gave me much to think about, and I will post more about it during the week. My hope is that we can grow the widows quest support group and help others to get through their bereavement.
