Thumbs up Grief Cruise's

A suggestion for those who had a husband or wife pass away and are going through the grief period and trouble adjusting. There are "Grief Cruises" which may help you to get past some of the grief and loss your experiencing. You can find some by
going on the Internet for "Grief Cruises, etc etc." Some have groups that formed on the cruise or before and they can be from all over the US with different experiences. With the right group you may find some help and relief being with ones who are going through the same terrible feelings.

A cruise IMO right now would be the last thing on my mind.

this is one of the dumbest marketing ideas that I've come across in quite a long time

it is amazing how low some ad people will stoop to make a buck

Unhappy Not a Marketing Idea

This was and is not a marketing scheme. It is real and from personal experience a helpful way for some to deal with the terrible grief of losing a husband or wife or child when and if Cruising comes back as an option. Those that mock or don't appreciate a
suggestion to deal with these losses and grief most likely never had a significant loss that they cared about. There are other ways and this is just one if a person is experiencing the terrible emotions that come with significant losses!

Will the cruise ship higher some professional mourners like the old wakes used to do in Boston especially in the Italian and Irish neighborhoods for people that no one really liked except for family and usually most of them didn’t either ????

Question Education

It is truly educational to read some of the responses to input on TOTV. Don't have to explain this observation as either you get it or you don't.

Sounds like a way of separating people from their money when they are at their most vulnerable.
