Navigating Your New Life . . .
Group to help support people who are starting over after a significant life transition, i.e., widow(ed), divorced, empty nest, job loss or career change, illness, etc.
Latest Group Announcement
Additional Resouces
During any significant life transition, almost everything changes. Your daily routine, time with family and friends, sometimes your living arrangements, even your identity can shift. We often question who we are and who we will be when the transition is over. Over the last couple of years I have created and presented, in my local area, a number of eight-week Navigating Your New Life Seminars. Participants learn eight life strategies for taming those fears and self-doubts that come with significant life transitions. The proactive program uses a navigational theme and is geared towards people who are ready to move from just “surviving” to “thriving”.
The programs have been extremely successful and life changing for many. In order to bring it to more people, I am thinking of offering the seminar as an eight-week teleclass series. Teleclasses are meetings held by phone where individuals can call in from anywhere in the country. They are fun, effective and less expensive than attending a live program.
Currently I am finishing up my website and will be creating a link so individuals will be able to get more information and possible registration dates. Please let me know if anyone in this group might be interested and I will post the link here.
This might even become a book. Woohoo!!!!!
Warmest regards, bostonannie

Welcome, Laura
Welcome, Laura, to Navigating Your New Life. While I think this is a great idea for a group, there hasn't been much going on here for a long time. Perhaps your joining us will change that.
another group?
I liked the title of this group. Navigating a new life is what I need to do since the death of my husband. This group, however, is not very active. Does anyone know of one with a similar purpose?
I have just read Something More, Excavating Your Authentic Self by Sarah Ban Breathnach. I have ordered ANew Earth and plan to take Oprah's online class. Does anyone here have any other suggestions to help me figure out what to do with my life?

GOD...grant me Patience....
and I mean NOW!
Grief...from whatever reason(s) to whatever degree is always alive!
Not to sound mean....but whats the hurry...oh yeah, it is not comfortable. Grief is an energy...that needs to be worn down and only TIME can do that. Whatever it takes...talking, crying, get angry, but know there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
God Bless us all.

MUST READ
JURY DUTY SCAM:
This has been verified by the FBI (their link is also included below). Please pass this on to everyone in your email address book. It is spreading fast so be prepared should you get this call. Most of us take ;those summons for jury duty seriously . A new and ominous kind of fraud has surfaced.
The caller claims to be a jury coordinator. If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify t he information and cancel the arrest warrant.
Give out any of this information and bingo, your identity was just stolen.
The fraud has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma , Illinois , and Colorado ..
This (swindle) is particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into giving information by pretending they are with the court system.
The FBI and the Federal Court System have issued nationwide alerts on their web sites, warning consumers about the fraud.
CHECK IT OUT YOURSELF AND SEE

hELLO EVERYONE
A year ago this evening, I filed for divorce from my husband of 38 years, and made him leave the house. I moved to a new state and became a single woman, alone, for the first time in my life. Tonight marks the one year anniversary and its been an amazing year. Needless to say, i will never look back, and i am just looking to hear about the life adventures of other eons members. As for myself, everyday is an adventure, and usually a blessing. Nice to meet you all.

Hi,

First, my husband died Aug, 2006; second my 16 yr old grandson died Nov, 2007 of a drug overdose and lastly last month I lost guardianship of my granddaughter whom I have raised from birth to six yrs of age.
I am trying to find myself and hope to hear from people who had losses and have bounced back. Thank you.

I Just Can't Believe This Happened
I am 56 and married for 8 years. My wife went on an extended trip to visit her father and grandfather but when she returned, she informed me that she also went to see some guy she met on the Internet and went back on the way home sleeping with him both times. Now she wants a divorce. We live in Colorado but she moved in to Kansas City to stay with a girlfriend until she could get settled. She called this week to say she is coming back on the 5th to pick up the rest of her things and furniture and is moving to Minneapolis to be with this guy.
My marriage was the most important thing in my life and I can't believe this happened. They say this is not terminal but I'm not so sure. I have never hurt this bad. I lost my brother a few years ago and thought that would be the worst thing that could happen to me because it was so sudden. This hurts more.
My first inclination was to crawl into a hole and hide. I tried to withdraw from everything but other folks have encouraged me to stay with it so I'm making the attempt but it hard to focus. I went to the doctor and got medication for the anxiety and something to sleep. I was only sleeping two hours a night and I was exhausted.
I do not want to start over again. I am hurt, humiliated and devastated. I pray daily for God to help ease the pain.

How do I get my life back to normal
Hello folks, this is my first time here, My Mother who was my dearest and bestest friend died last Dec 39th, She had cancer but refused to get treatment cause she would not leave my Dad. My Dad had a stroke 6 years ago from a cartoid surgery and was totally bedbound, he was unable to talk or even feed himself. I lived 50 miles away, I am an only child, divorced, and no children. I moved in with my folks when Mama got so weak and cared for both of them. Moms death was sudden it was not expected. I continued to stay and care for Daddy. He died Sept 12 this year. Since then I decided to still live in the house as I know everything they did they did for me. I tried going back to work but discovered it was too soon. This Christmas season is really put me in such a depression. I took Mom and Dads things out to the cemetary a couple of weeks ago, It took me over an hour to decorate it but the next day it was gone. It seems that was the breaking point for me. Now all I do is sleep and watch tv. I live off apples and orangs cause I dont even want to cook. The house is such a disaster that I would not dare let anyone in. I just have no energy, I dont answer my phone. I dont wanta talk to anyone. How do I snap out of this, I am a Christian and I have prayed and prayed about this, I know there are others who have been thru this but I feel so alone. I just want to feel normal again, Anyone have any advice, please respond. Patricia
