I bet your husband was wonderful just like mine we were very fortunate to have found each other. The funny part is where we met and it was the place I lay him to rest. We met at a funeral and we were both very much over weight so our families would call us here comes the gorditos which means the fatties lol but one day we decided to have a gastric bypass he first and then me . He lost 180 and I lost 130. Life changed for us after that we went everywhere without having to sit everything out Disney land we walled for hours it was so much fun. We traveled to so many places I have so many memories I tell you life began for me 15 years ago. and stopped the day he went to Heaven. Today I am going to Midland Tx. with my brotherinlaw we are grieving together because my sister died 2 weeks before my husband. So if I cry he knows why with out asking whats wrong he already knows just like everyone here knows. I whill be back on monday so stay strong and and try to make some happy memories with your family Many hugs to you

Soaring Spirits is a relatively new organization, and this is the second year of Camp Widow. Check out their website at http://www.sslf.org to read about all the services they provide. I especially like their Widow Match program, which is an on-line based support group that matches widows of similar circumstances for supportive e-mail correspondence.

Registration for Camp Widow is on-going. Regular registration cost is $375 (through 7/15). If you can get a group of 4 widows to register together -- group registration is $325. You could join their Facebook page, for there is info about the conference there, too. Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks for joining the group!
