Hi,

I just wanted to let the members of this group who are grieving the loss of a spouse or partner know that there is a Daily Strength group for Widows & Widowers. There are some things that come up while grieving the loss of a spouse/partner that can only be understood by those grieving that same kind of loss. If that is what you are going through, please know you are not alone, and that you can join us at:

http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Widows-Widowers/support-group

I am one of the Community Leaders for the Widows & Widowers Group appointed by Daily Strength (you can identify the CLs by the little blue CL badge on our photos). My co-CLs are Shrn and marjoe.

I joined DS nearly 10 years ago, after my husband Cliff died suddenly. I felt that no one close to me could understand the pain I was I was enduring. Being on DS, and specifically being in the Widows & Widowers Group, helped me to rebuild my life. The group is open to anyone grieving a spouse or partner - straight or gay, young or old, married or not. If you are suffering the same kind of loss, we'd like to help. It is also perfectly all right to belong to more than one group here - you don't have to leave the Bereavement group to join us.

I am sorry anyone ever needs either group, but wanted to make sure anyone who might need support after losing their life partner knows where to find us. Wishing you all better days ahead...

Love and Hugs,
Martha

By all means, please consider this group if your are going through the loss of your significant other. We focus more on the bereavement process in this group. But the loss of a spouse is very much more; after some time has passed there will be a lot of things that are less related to bereavement than they are to the sorting out of how you move on.

May we all be surrounded by loving friends and family as we navigate the hard waters of loss.

There are other groups for breakups or estrangements. Bereavement and the Widows & Widows groups are specifically for loss because of death. I'm pretty SunCloud will have directed you to a more helpful board for your situation.

    I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now.  I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed.  So many bad things have happened since my mom passed.  One thing after another it seems.  Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up.  Thank...
