Hi, my name is Karen. I'm very sorry for your loss. I lost my husband, Jack, 1 year ago and I've been on this forum ever since. My husband's aunt and uncle lived in Covina for years. I lived in Reseda many years back. Your loss is new as is Debra's also. I still cry and still miss Jack terribly. Looking back at one year I remember those first few months of shock and disbelief. In a way, I still am in disbelief.
I hope you will stay with this forum and find support. It's a place you can vent anytime, say anything with no judgements. Blessings, Karen

Hi Karen, and I'm so very sorry for the loss of your husband as well, and I certainly understand why you still cry and you miss Jack terribly. My heart goes out to you also. And I know that there are several stages of grief, with disbelief being one of them. And it is so true that we can find support among the empathetic ,so kind and caring GIC members here. And we can vent anytime,and say anything without judgement, and for that, I am so grateful.

Debra

Something kind of neat has been happening on our site as we grow and expand...I see a lot of people posting where they are located, and searching for others who may be close by.

For example: "I'm from St. Augustine, Florida. Anyone from my area?"...

You see, that's the whole reason why this website was created. It's wonderful to find the support online and to be able to sign in anytime from anywhere and find others who understand. But we know that the loneliness in grief can be best combated when we get to spend face to face time with those who can relate to what we're going through.

So let us know...where are you from? As this site grows and every day we add new members, there is a greater chance there is someone close by whom you may one day consider a friend.

Post below and remember you can always do a search by going to "Make a Connection" and then "Find Others Who Are Grieving". For now you can search by state, but as we get bigger we will be narrowing that field down to be more specific.

And don't forget, your safety is our #1 priority. We have safety tips on our homepage and I encourage you to review them here. http://griefincommon.com/pages/safety-tips/. Finally, remember that this site is always being monitored. Every post and every sign up is reviewed carefully, and we are constantly working to create an environment that is safe and comfortable for grievers to be. If you have any questions or concerns you can reach out to us anytime! You will get a quick response.

Thanks, and remember to let other grievers know...where are you from? You may just find a new friend close by.
