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.
Think of someone you can help. You've heard of the pay it forward and pay it backward.
It can be very healing to focus on someone else for a brief moment and lighten their load.

I know exactly what you mean. I volunteer at a soup kitchen at church. When I'm helping there I see other people with a lot worse problems than I have. I enjoy sitting and talking to them while they eat. I have had some people buy me Christmas gifts that I know can not afford. They are more precious to me because they came from the heart. They are so grateful and I feel needed.
