On 5/29/12 I registered for ywbb, 9 days out from my husband's death. I think this was the day before I was supposed to go back to work. I had been searching for a resource for a few days after his death, while I was still home and in shock, and came across the board.
I am celebrating this day today. It was the day that I reached out for help and understanding. My life wasn't over. There were others that had been through similar before. As I got to know the members, I felt more comfortable to share about my experiences. It was the only place I could go that I didn't feel judged. A place I could be exactly myself, just like I was with my husband.
I do not want this to turn into a flame fest about why ywbb was shut down. We have each other, and that's all that matters to me.
I am fortunate to have each and every one of you here as part of my life. I am raising a virtual toast to the members here, old and new.
