Thank you for your kind words and hugs. It means a lot.

Maureen,
I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you a hug. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.


Debbie

Thanks Debbie for your kindness.

I work as a volunteer at The Villages Hospice(Cornerstone) next to the sheriff's station on 466; there is a very good grief consular on staff there -- his name is Joe Walker.

Oh, Maureen, so so sorry
 

Now, I want you to put your left hand on your right shoulder and at the same time put your right hand on your left shoulder, there, now you've been hugged....Time will be the best healer but you have lots of love pouring thru this screen from our wonderful TOTVers....

Thanks. I will look into this. I have gotten a lot of good feedback about Cornerstone and it is good to have a name.

Thanks so much. Even through my pain I do feel the love at TOTV. You have all been so kind and helpful. God Bless. Maureen

Hi Maureen,
I found this webpage that Cornerstone has bereavement services offered to people not in their care. Hope this helps. I'm still mourning the loss of a close first cousin a year ago.
Best wishes to you.

Thanks John. I am going to check this out. Sorry for your loss.

Hello again. It has been a while. I just want to thank you all for being there for me and for your kind words of encouragement. You did not even know me then and you helped me more than you can ever imagine and I will never forget your kindness. I did find a bereavement group at the Cornerstone Hospice and it has helped me. I am still sad and I am missing my Joe every day, and I am sure I will always miss him, but I am doing my best to cope. I am going to spend some time with the family in NJ for the Easter holidays (my first time flying alone - wish me luck) and I am hoping to join some of the activities in The Villages when I come back. There has to be something out there for me - there are a lot of choices.

Happy Holidays to all of you wonderful TOTVers.

Maureen

Have a good flight and enjoy the Easter holiday with your family.

.......Maureen

.....Wishing you and your family a good Easter Holiday.

Maureen,

Sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one, so dear. I think that most hospitals have bereavement support group meetings too. I would check it out. In the meantime, keep busy and get out as much as you can.
