I found a wonderful Web site today for the woman who is looking for the motivation to “get going,” again. And of course, for a young widow who is in the process of reinventing her life and starting over, getting going is what it’s all about. I know - it isn’t easy, but it can […]
Right after I was widowed, I bought every book on grief I could find. I had this idea - if I bought all of the books and learned everything I could learn about grief, it wouldn’t hurt so much. Bad idea - it cost me a lot of money and it still hurt.
