The Heart of the Conversation

I am excited by our planned phone call on Friday night – 6pm New York time and of course if any other widows and widowers want to join us and talk about how they are coping with grief, about the blog posts which help most with your bereavement or just for support and friendship – then the details are on our Widows Wiki.
Why am I excited?
Because I know you all understand grief, I know that we have shared hopes, shared pains, that we are sharing each others journey through that dark tunnel of pain to that day when we wake up and feel happiness again.
It does make you think about the power of sharing. Yet when you suffer death, you seem to not want to share….for me I think it was a reaction to sharing my love and then that being lost. You don’t want to share because you don’t feel people will understand….well not Friday, we will all understand and that is why I cannot wait to hear the voices of the Widows Quest Community.

Anna, I am also very excited to participate in this call. I am looking forward to hearing voices I have only imagined as I read their contributions to Widows Quest. I am sure it will be a wonderful experience.
Please do not trivitilise the death of loved ones.
Elaine – I would never trivialize death or grief, our excitement is that we have seen each other through the dark days, literally holding each others virtual hearts and we now get to talk to each other about our grief. Far from trivialising it, it is about showing the importance of friendship. I am sorry if we gave any other impression. Anyone who knows me knows I would never do that….I couldn’t because I don’t feel it is trivial
