Do any of you find yourselves constantly changing? I was married for more than four decades and I keep going through these periods where I’m like “okay, this is what I need in my life.” After a period of time, I realize that’s not the case ...

This seems like the perfect place to vent my feelings. I lost my husband seven years ago exactly 2 weeks after he drew his very first retirement check. He spent his whole life planning and saving and dreaming of retirement. We were married 34 ...

I don’t post here very often, although do respond and try to support others when they do so. All of us, in this group, have been bereaved at some time, by losing either a spouse, partner or close relative or friend. The grief we suffer is unique...

It was so hard seeing George get sicker & fade over time until he died. I wasnt in the same room when he took his last breath. I never saw his "body". When my Mom passed, her lifeless body is the first image that hits my head when I think of her. I ...

I've had something gnawing at me for a couple of days and I feel like I need advice or something. I've been seeing a gentleman for several weeks. Last weekend he said the following to me, although I'm paraphrasing I'm sure: “I know two things ...

Sometimes inspiration comes from strange sources. I recently watched a Netflix series called dead to me. It's a story about a woman who becomes a widow and finds her husband had a very dark side, and was unfaithful to her. Not every widow (er) had a...

My husband's been gone 6 years. I've always felt lucky that we had such a wonderful marriage. Yesterday I cried for the first time in many years. For some reason I thought about him and then realized even though I could remember many of the things he...

POLLI came across someone that lost a child in another group. Losing a child can, in some cases be just as, if not, more painful than losing a spouse or other loved one. Should we add people that have lost a child to our group?
