A friend of mine who had traveled to Liberia, Africa, shared with me that when a woman is widowed in Liberia, an older widow is sent to stay with the younger widow... to help the younger widow through the difficult adjustment. By sharing our experiences and our strategies - in a positive manner - we can create a similar "virtual" community where we help and support each other ...... as we to adjust. Please feel free to add your positive suggestions in the comments section following each post!

Social Security

If you are due benefits from Social Security, contact them right away to at least set an appointment.  I thought I had to wait until I had the death certificate and that held up benefits for several months.  I will post additional information on Social Security shortly.  

Their phone number is: 1-800-772-1213

One day at a time,
