I attended the Soaring Spirits Foundation of Loss Conference for widows this weekend in San Diego, CA as a contributing author with my book, Believe.
It was an inspirational experience to meet over 200 women...strong women with strong stories of love and loss from across the country representing 28 states and 6 countries. The commonality woven throughout us is a bond that forms instantly as soon as we hear the answer to "how did your husband die?" Immediately we agree that our spouses died far too soon, that our hearts will always miss them and that we desire to find good in life again.
Jennifer,
I've been following Matt's blog from the beginning, what an amazing man and father. I just started to read your book and he came to my mind...I'm so glad that you know of him.
Blessings to you!

It must be a wonderful feeling, to know that everyone there knew exactly what you have been through, and are still continuing to go through and deal with. For the majority of us, we fortunately have no idea, and hope to never have to endure that kind of loss. I hope you made some new contacts of some great women to be able to contact! I'm so glad you had this opportunity! ;)
