I found this site after looking for the ywbb forum. It sounds like it was closed and this is the replacement right?
I recognized the island of misfit widows/ers so I think I'm in the right place. I'm using my old user name. I was 26 at the time that my husand passed.
I found ywbb over 6 years ago when my husband was killed in an accident. Unfortunately, a dear friend has just lost her husband this week and today asked me for links and sites take might help.
I thought of this forum immediately. It was a life line in the early days and years. Just reading others posts helped immensely. Learning to express myself was life changing. So if there are others her from "back in the day" hello and THANK YOU.
Perhaps it's my turn to pay it forward helping others here. I remember when 6 years out seemed like a lifetime and beyond active grieving sounded both like a relief and terrible.
Life has had many beautiful surprises and blessings along the way over the last 6 years. I'm very grateful. I'll share more later, but for now I'm happy to have returned here again.
