Hi all I went to a widow/ widower grief coffee morning today and I found it helpful even though when I got to the door I nearly turned round and went home.Im glad I didn’t as talking to people who really understood how i feel all the time made it comforting.Ther was different age groups of people and people at different stages of loss.I am going to go next week even though I still feel guilty for going out and have been given details of groups I might enjoy as a widow.Im not quite ready to do other groups yet but its given me options going forward.Lastly i would like to thank Brandon who found this group for me near to where I live.

Dear Sadness I am pleased you have found somewhere that might help. The more we can express our feelings and find support the better.
Wishing you all the best Tom

@Sadness3 well done for going into the group & I’m glad to hear that it has helped.
There is a bereavement group by me & for the past 2 weeks I have got myself ready & travelled to the church where the group is held & then walked straight past & come back home. I am quite a shy person & it feels a lot to walk into the church not knowing anyone, what if no one talks to me, what if i cry in front of people I don’t know, what if they make me talk in front of everyone. These are all thoughts going through my head on the way there that make me not go in. I know it’s silly.

Dear Sar have you thought of phoning the person who organises the bereavement group and sharing your worries. I am sure they will be able allay your fears and will be able to make your first visit really comfortable.
Wishing you all the best Tom
