Widows Bond

Hello to all,

On my website http://www.coachingforwidows.com/,

there are many widow referral resources (websites, books etc.). One of the websites is http://www.widow-speak.org/. On this site, there is a link http://www.widowsbond.com/ where you (as widows) can sign up to receive an email with contact information for up to three women whose current situation is very similar to yours. The hope is that you develop an empathetic companionship with one or more of these widows as you each journey through the loss of your husbands.

As I have shared on past blogs and during coaching sessions with my clients I recommend having support and help come from a variety of sources. (friends, both widowed and non-widowed, family, colleagues, church, coach etc.)

Yes, I too have "signed up" at http://www.widowsbond.com/ to meet my new widow friends and look forward to sharing experiences. Even after 4 years (since my loss) and even though I am a coach, this sounds like an extraordinary opportunity. Every day is a new day to make new friendships, share, learn, grow and laugh. Every day we also have the opportunity to continue to build and rekindle old friendships. The picture at the beginning of this blog entry is one sent to me from an old friend. We were in 8th grade. Old friends and new friends...

Happy Bonding.

Warmly,

Colleen
