Toosoon, I get it. It's incredibly hard to let go of that life we all used to have, even little pieces of it. All I have left of my old life with my first husband is a few boxes of stuff and the cats we adopted together. I moved away from our hometown a couple of years ago, and though it was a hard thing to do, in the long run, it did help me. Maybe this change can help you, too. I found that I could breathe easier in a new city, and it was nice to not be haunted by memories around every corner. It was very bittersweet. Hugs to you.

Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words. Many hugs to you

I suppose that means I belong in this neck of the woods now. Five years. Today always seemed so unattainable in the early days. I wrote about my thoughts on today: https://thewidowmosaic.com/2018/03/01/five-years/ (hugs) to all, thank you for helping me survive this journey.

Hello, I wrote this recently and wanted to share. Maybe it could help someone on this cruddy journey. https://thewidowmosaicblog.wordpress.com/2017/10/15/things-i-wish-someone-told-me/?preview=true Hugs, Valerie

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if it's okay to post about this sort of thing, so please let me know if I'm overstepping any boundaries. I've been a member here for a while (originally joined YWBB in 2013) and wanted to share the blog I started. I've kept a sort of diary since the day Brandon died, and over the years, it's ended up being pretty long. I'm at a point in life where I want to share my experiences and pain. When I was new to this widowed club, reading what others wrote kept me going. I'm hoping I'm able to help someone in the same way. I plan to both post some of my old diary entries as well as write current thoughts and musings. http://www.thewidowmosaic.com ((hugs))

Hi everyone! I haven't been on these forums in a while, and saw that YWBB was shut down (sad). But then I found this new place! I'm glad it was set up. I'm glad to see familiar names here. I've missed you all. -Ele
