  •  Elin, Don't know what's going on, but I'm not getting any emails and it seems the site wants me to join. Do you have any idea what happened? Thanks, Janet

  •  Hi all, Thank you for spending the evening with me. I am so sorry that any of you have to be a part of this group, but it was very helpful to meet with like minded individuals. As Robin said it's a "new normal", but only people who have through the journey to this new normal really understand. I have been struggling as of late and though I still am, meeting with all of you allowed me to take a step in the right direction. I look forward to seeing everyone again soon. Thank You, Rich

  •  Hi all. I am going to try and make the next meeting at healing hearts. I have been having a rough time recently. I was doing OK and then I had what would have been my 25th wedding anniversary on April 29. since then its been difficult. Anyone else having these roller coaster emotions?

    Thanks Rich
