In pjs in my room watching uconn women play basketball while packing for Monday's trip to Florida.

Newbies often say they appreciate our response and comments. I just wouldn't start a thread there except when we were helping to set the board up. Thats my opinion. Im not an authority. I think those of us a few years along should share our goals and accomplishments with our peers. The newbies can and do peek in.

Wow NC State over Nova!

Lets all cut each other a bit of slack. There's a learning curve, generally its a good idea to leave the threadps in newly widowed to those in the category.

I dont think you need to respond to every complaint. In the future, i can move a thread for you if you wish. Feel free to go ahead and start a thread in general but i believe one or two along that line exist

Makes me feel less alone in my failure

Cashews but only after REESES Pillows soft or firm?

Really shocking what widows said to eachother. My favorite was about 2 weeks after the funeral by a "friend" of his...."i just cant believe he would have wanted to be cremated "

Im glad you had a good talk and are both willing to work on communication

If i put my ssn in my name i could be less anon. It was 2 days post funeral. I was going to pick a new one but i feel it is too late. Almost 6 years. I'm LisaPop in widow world

Baylor What?

There are akways upsets in these early rounds it is just hard to pick them! I know its sillly to try and predict but it is fun.

I see we have a What's a bago answer. There are other posts on this thread forum describing them now. If you still have questions, make a new post oo send a message. the best way to make a bago is to make your own post with your area in the title. It helps find people take a leap, pick a date and place. If that one doesn't work, try again.

Thank you @anniegirl. Im very grateful you've been with us in this transition. You have been very helpful

The career widows you are hearing about are very likely what we call "Professional" widows who actually do carve out a paying career and make money from being widowed. It is great that people help other widows, share their story, write a book etc. After time you will recognize the pro we are talking about. There is a lot of self and cross promotion among them. They collect "fans" or worshippers. Social media has created this monster. It is best to get your support from a wide variety of people, hold onto your wallet especially when new. Id use my money for a professional grief counselor not a kickstarter campaign of someone who I follow on facebook who NEEDS to write a book that MUST be read. Publishers still do give advances. Self publishing is usually an ego stroke. It is a growing phenomenon you may hear cranky people like me talk about

Im confused as to whether he felt you were right expecting too much or right that he should have texted? Nicely I have to say I dont think it is fair to expect him to be a mind reader. Texting is the bane of the existence of midern relatiojships and dating.
