I have been so happy to receive the words of support that I did when I reached out about the passing of my old friend, ex-wife and mother of one of my sons. It helps more then anyone of the posters can ever know and I thank you all.

What I am hoping is that now you'll not only spread the word about this new support group for people who have lost a wife, sister, uncle, grandfather, friend, partner, etc, but that you will also post articles to the group talking about the passing of someone who was extra special to you and why. This group is not just for posting death notices of people who have died in the past few days. You do not have to have just lost a loved one to participate. It's a place for everyone on Newsvine to talk about someone in their life, a family member or friend and how their death affected them. Grieving is a long process and I admit I still grieve over my father's death even though it's been 10 years.

Please, compose articles and tributes and share with us all your grief, because I believe with all my heart that there are many more people in the world who want to help you deal with it then not. THAT is what this group is for. The membership is wide open and only requires that you have a heart and only positive things to say.
