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.
Sending out a reminder about the Ohio Autumn Gathering, aka the Ohio Hoedown, in case you would like to join us. I think there are a few rooms that remain in the block of rooms designated for our group. Don't forget to make your reservations if you are planning on staying overnight (motel information below).

If I have left anyone out, please let me know. I will make the correction. Also, six (as of this date) of the definites are arriving on Friday night. I plan on meeting them for dinner and an evening of chit chat and enjoyment; the 'wingding' will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Let me know if you will be arriving early. It would help in making arrangements for the evening.
I sure hope those of you who have not been able to attend one of the earlier Gatherings will consider joining us. It will be a day to connect and put a face with a nameat last!!! As I've mentioned before, the other Gatherings have been uplifting and full of just plain fun. I think it surprised all of us how quickly we bonded. Conversations ranged from lighthearted and fun-loving to camaraderie between determined survivors. What a special group of people the DSers arekindhearted, supportive, and compassionate.

My paternal great-grandfather came through Ellis Island from Germany and he married a Kentuckian; my maternal great-great-grandparents are from England, so GO FIGURE and make your own conclusions as to your 'accent'or, as we say in my neck of the woods, your 'drawl.'
Another bump up. Two weeks until the W&W fun continues! Ahhhh, a great break from 'routine.' TJ
I'm still hoping that you can make it to Buckeye country to join us. There are no strangers at these Gatherings. Friendships are made through the wires, and this is an opportunity to meet one another face to face. TJ
I am hoping for some response fot the So Cal meet up planned for Nov 13.
Since we are having them on the same weekend, here's a great big SHOUT OUT for the So Cal gang. Have a blast. We will be thinking of you. You'll probably be enjoying the beautiful sunshine, and we'll be sitting by the fire making S'mores! TJ

Don't burn your place down just b/c you're craving S'mores. You have it up for say, for pity sakes!!!!!! TJ
