OK, gals…send ‘em in! Answer one, two, or all three questions, but please do participate! Your answers are guaranteed to be anonymous, and they may help a new GOW/WOW deal with her similar issues. Responses posted in the DECEMBER issue of the newsletter, due Dec. 20. Blessings….JDA

1.) How do you/did you effectively deal with the toxic people in your life? Does your widower support you and stand up for you?

2.) Do you believe that the longer a widower was married to his late wife, the longer it takes for him to move on? Do you feelthat there is a “magic number” of years a widower should be alone before dating again? Explain.

3.) If your widower was a caretaker for his terminally ill late wife, do you feel (or does he say) that his grief started long before she actually died? Do you believe that this “early grief” was helpful or harmful to his bereavement recovery? Explain.
