“I admire you. I lost my precious husband this February and am totally inconsolable. I had 12 beautiful years with him but still feel cheated, bitter and angry. People like you make me realize what a lot I have to be grateful for.”
Thank You

“You are so kind and know all the correct things to say. I agree with you exactly. Because I wasn’t family or married to him some people think it is no big deal. Thanks for you support again.
I live in Dublin Ireland. During the early days I would sit surfing the net looking for ways that I would be able to help myself cope with this tragedy. I found your website and as I said yesterday found it really refreshing and supportive. You are really great.”
Thanks,
Julie Prendergast
