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.
I have had a habit of writing stuff down I have seen somewhere and kept pieces of papers with many of these on.
I have been going through my files etc and I found these on the same paper. I know they are from many years ago but sure do mean more now.
When we are dead and people weep for us and grieve, let it be because we touched their lives with beauty and simplicity. Let it not be said that life was good to use, but rather we were good to life.

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and beavrement, who can tolerate not-knowing, not-caring, not-healing, and face with us the reality of our powerlessness - that is a friend that cares.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
