I received a wonderful email from one of the Widows Quest readers who has written this poem about her grief - she would love to turn it into a song so she is starting to learn the piano to put it to music. I love sharing our thoughts so if you have something you want […]

Tonight I am going to my mum’s and then tomorrow we are setting off to visit my aunt who lives at the opposite end of the country. Both mum and my aunt have lost their husbands, and both are trying to rebuild their lives.
