- When I checked back with DS, I was surprised to see so little activity on Hopeful Hearts as well as Widows and Widowers. I suppose other sites are out there on the Web, but DS was critical to my healing. It was the first community I found that...
- I consider Daily Strength a dear friend. The friends from DS were always there to listen to my fear, to comfort with their understanding, to offer support through their own painful experiences, and to be a confidant when I needed anonymity.My...
- I recently replied to a post on the Hopeful Hearts board that respectfully asked the opinion of other DSers on whether there was only one soulmate for us in a lifetime. Sharon, a CL, asked if I would post my reply on the Widow/Widowers board. I...
- I joined DS in the fall of 2009. My life has weaved in and out of the valleys and mountains of moving forward as has every survivor of loss. After reading a reply from Comfortablynumb to a post from Sharon entitled "A Gift." I wanted to weigh in...
- As I was reading a recent comment on HH, I was struck by the phrase 'starting over.' It kind of hit me square between the eyes. (First, I would like to state that it is for this very reason that I am so grateful for DS and HH. We challenge one...

- I'm assuming that all DS Gatherings have their own distinct "flavor," and the recent Ohio Gathering was no exception. I met people who were formally a "username" on a screen with whom I occasionally chatted. With fear and trembling, they took that...
- 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. ...
- Soon I will have completed my 2nd year on DS. Over those two years, many battles of the heart were faced, conquered, and some were lost. There have been tender reminders of a well-loved past, a quiet resignation to an undefined future, and those...
- I apologize for the incorrect amount for lodging stated on the Reminder (2). The cost is $89.00, not including tax in lieu of the $80.00 which I incorrectly posted. The $89.00 is stated in the original post....I "goofed" in the Reminder (2). ...
- Fellow DSers, as I've read some of the posts over the last few months, it appears that this has been a humdinger of a summer for the DS Group. There are so many new members who have joined our ranks, and my heart goes out to them as they begin this...

- I've had a really lousy week! I've reflected too much; took too much to heart; wore my feelings on my sleeve; andmy greatest fearbroke down in a gush of tears in front of my daughter. OK, now that I have that out in the open, let me explain. A...
