Widows & Widowers Support Group
This community is dedicated to those who have lost a husband, wife, or partner. Anything is open for discussion here, with the hope that we can focus on grief, bereavement, life after loss, and continuing on after a great loss.
OK Fellow DSers, I'm ready to kick back and try to pull some R&R time together for myself and those who want to move beyond the turmoil of the everyday grind. Friends, I'm here to say that unless we make the good moments happen they simply won't. That's the long and short of it. So here in my little portion of the world, a "good moment" will happen on the 17th of September. Please come and help it be one of the better moments for all of us on this taxing journey.

If I have left anyone out or have a name down who doesn't plan on attending, PLEASE let me know. The names above were taken from replies and private messages of those who contacted me. In addition, several (as of this date) of the definites are arriving on Friday night. I plan to meet them for dinner and then some will accompany me to the airport to greet John Flynn who will be flying in from Australia. Andre (tink59) will be flying in at noon on Friday also.
Let me know if you will be arriving early. It would help in making arrangements for the evening.

I am preparing a private message with info re Friday and Saturday for all those who have indicated they will be attending. It should be out by Monday or sooner. So glad you're still able to attend. TJ
You will be in my thoughts on your 39th. The special days can play havoc with our emotions and set us back a little. Hang in there and if you have the chance, give me a jingle on the phone on Saturday. I can put it on speaker phone for you to say Howdy to everyone. TJ
Carol,
I hope to reconnect with you one of these days at a future Gathering. Way too much time has passed since we met in person at the Philly Gathering. That was the beginning of several sweet friendships over the wires. TJ
