“ If you have never come to a meetup, please join us. We have no political or religious agena. We are just a group who have ALL suffered a tragic loss and meet to help each other move on. The pain never goes away. We help make it bareable. ”

“ This is a group that none of wanted to be a part of however we all understand. This group setting can help with this journey of grief. ”

“ A good, clean way to make new friends and work past some of the pain and despair of loss. We just talk, share and enjoy each other's company without having to worry about whether or not we might be "burdening" to one another. We've all been down the same road, in one sense or another, and it's just easier to let our hair down, sometimes. Give us a try! We are always looking for ways to expand our horizons! ”

“ It really is nice to meet people in various stages of their journey. Being relatively new for me, it is nice to know what I am feeling is "normal." I can understand why "they" say it is good to not make major decisions for a year. EVERYTHING seems to take forever...and being in a fog...there is too much I still don't know. My new journey comes with a great learning curve. It's really nice to meet kindred spirits to do things with and to share ideas, memories, and difficulties as well as laugh and make new memories with. I appreciate you!!! :o) ”

“ A place to meet others who share this common background; a good reason to get out and meet new people. And some fun, different things to do! Look on the calendar and find an activity that you would enjoy - then sign up and show up. We have all had that "first meetup" uncertainty, but we are easy to get to know. ”

“ Round table would be better for converation and meeting others. A place where we could reserve a round table would be a plus. ”

“ I think there is such a need for younger widows and widowers not ready to give up on living again to find a place they fit in and are around others who understand what we have all been through. This is the goal of this group. This is a great group of people sharing a common loss and sharing how to put their life back together again and go on living. ”

“ Because we all have the same thing in common, we lost a spouse & we kind of know what the other one is feeling and I think we all can gain support with one another. ”
