Welcome - Widows and Widowers

Hello...please on come in and join us,

This is a place where you will make new friends who have shared a like experience. People who know what you're going through because they have walked or are walking where you do now.

We share our experiences, how we have gotten through certain things, how we cope and how we are working toward moving forward on this 'new life path' we find ourselves on. I hope you will feel comfortable in the group, sharing as you can and want to for it is not only healing but it helps others at the same time.

I would like to introduce you to the family whose picture welcomes you on the Widows and Widowers page this month. From left to right in the photo is Jack, husband of member Kathy (beaniekath), their Sean, Kathy, and their son, Christopher. The photo was taken when son, Sean graduated from college in 2006.

Jack was born July 15, 1953 in Scranton, Pa and died September 24, 2007 in Southington, Ct. He is survived by his wife, Kathy and two sons, Chris and Sean. Jack's hobbies included Amateur Radio and his real love was Remote Control Airplane flying, building, and instructing the next generation of flyers. He had a huge number of great friends and had a short, but very joyous life. He was so proud of both of his sons who followed in his footsteps into the Computer IT and Engineering Field. He will be missed and loved forever until the day that we will be reunited with him in heaven. Jack’s birthday is July 15, he would have been 55.

This group is for those who have lost their spouses due to death. It is NOT a singles dating group. If you can contribute to our healing process, you are welcome. If you are here to look for single ladies or men at a time when they might be vulnerable, I must ask that you do not do that here. There are other groups for that on Eons. Thank you.

Hi: My name is Angela. I am 56 years old and I lost my husband on Christmas Eve of 2006. It was a very tragic, sudden and enexpected thing. If I can, I will post a picture of him soon and you will see why it was so shocking. He was a very muscular and strong man. Never sick a day in his life. He worked out at the gym 4 days a week and ran 9 miles a week. He was the perfect picture of health. He outlifted and ran more than men half his age. On December 21, 2006, this beautiful 56 year old man went to the gym on his lunch hour (as he did 4 days a week) and he was warming up. All of a sudden, he got up and told hs friends that he was dizzy. He sat down on a bench and was complaining of a headache & said he could not move his left side. Within minutes, he was mumbling and could not be understood. He went into a coma shortly after the ambulance got there and never came out. It was later determined that a blood vessel ruptured deep within his brain and we were told there was no hope for him. He died three days later.

Up until two weeks ago, I thought I was doing pretty good and then all of a sudden, the grief hit me again as if he died yesterday. I need to talk to people who know what I am going through.
