Amazing book! Incredible writer! Easy read and so relatable! Thank you for allowing me to grieve in my own way, on my own timeline, and with who I feel safe with.
I’ll never be the same again. My life died with my mom. I love you and miss u mom. This is my new normal. I have no family . I’m alone in the world. We’ll see if I survive 💔😞
Gm- I worked as a aide working mostly with Hospice clients in their private homes. Working with these special individuals was wonderful.they were some of the best persons I have ever had the opportunity to work with. Yes, it was bitter sweet because I was there to help them feel comfortable during the end of life.the family's and the people I worked with was so appreciative about life instead of being mad & hostile. I can go on & on. Made my life better to open my eyes on to see all in life and try not to bug out and enjoy life for what it is.❤
Hearing that after 6 years you still hadn't moved very far was so helpful. I am coming up on 3 years since the death of my first born child, he was 37 years old. I am feeling pressure , mostly from myself, to feel bette and not talking about how I'm feeling due to perceived societal norms. This loss is heartbreaking.. I know it will hurt my whole life, and I think there is nothing abnormal about that. But others don't get it.
This book is the absolute best on grief I have ever r read I like the saying of how grief is an extension of love and because you loved that person so much that is what makes your hurt and sadness so much more intense
Great information. As a clinician in past yrs and a patient bc of traumas. When my own h died at 49 unexpectedly leaving me w 2 sons, all the psycho babble meant NOTHING. my own, and those I use to council.
I love Megan and she’s helped me so much over this past year and a half since my partner died. But I wish she would stop saying ‘Right’ as a filler word - what I’m still feeling is far from right and it’ comes across as presumptuous.
There are people that do recover. Not right away. They say when they think about their deceased its comforting now. And giggle about funny things the did they did together. Im greiving now but I would not pick up Megan's book with a title like that much less give it to anybody grieving. She is not an authority on this topic. Megan will be quoted for this statement: "Be around people that you dont want them to speak"
It has been 13 years since my husband of 40 years passed away. The book “ Widow to Widow” helped me immensely. Just to hear your feelings validated is therapeutic. I recently gifted this book to a grieving young husband . I think it’s awonderful book. Yes, I can now smile about my husband’s funny moments and feel warm about his lovely personality, but I will never be the same person that I was before. I think that is the main point of the book. We have enough pain without feeling guilty about not “ moving on”

This was a wonderful conversation. Agree with all of it and it’s comforting. I’ve lost 2 beautiful sons.
This book is great - it's my bible :-). Megan said all about my feelings when my daddy passed away 😢😔.
Daddy I miss you ...
..and Megan, thank you very much ! ♥️

“You are not a safe and welcoming person to talk to”. Wow….
The greater the loss and grief …. Just show up and shut up is all I actually need
Lost my 36 year old daughter to suicide
