Within the the first year after David passed I read a book called Saturday Night Widows. The author of the book decided that the normal grief support groups were not for her after attending one meeting. Her idea was to start her own small group that would focus on moving forward not the 5 stages of grief. The concept was she managed to meet 5 different widows and for them to get together on Saturdays and do things and take trips, etc. for a year. These were five women who at the beginning had really nothing in common except that they were widows. They probably would of never met, let alone been friends if not for this new group that the author started. These women were able to talk about what they went through, what they are going through and knew that they could be honest about their feelings, say things that nobody unless they were in their shoes would understand.
