I met Lisa, one of the young widows from my group. She and I get along very well. I remember the first time I met her during the hospice support group. She mentioned her husband was on Sutnet, my ears perked up that was the drug that had the most therapeutic benefit for Chris. I knew it had other uses, but it was something to actually say it out loud. I felt an affinity with her immediately.
We met half way between our homes (which are 40 minutes apart). She had suggested a Mexican restaurant and we met there. She was little late and we chuckled about that (she was a late attendee to the group by design). We sat down and chatted for a while before ordering. We have an easy rapport and mostly talked about our loss and where we were at. After lunch she suggested a trip oer to Panera for coffee and more conversation. I was glad, it felt so relieving to just be with someone who just "gets it". Even though no two widows experiences are the same, she is certainly closer to understanding and sharing then someone else (like all those people that share that they lost their cat last year so they understand my grief....)
