Marilyn Smolen the Cofounder and Administrator of Grief's Journey has recently brought to our attention her wonderful website. Grief's Journey; the web address is http://www.griefsjourney.com. Their intended purpose is to provide a comprehensive resource listing for those who have lost a loved one and are beset by grief. Although their site contains resources dealing with general grief issues, their particular focus is on Widows and Widowers. In addition to a resource list on grief issues, they've included sections on financial issues, educational issues, children's issues, do it yourself resources, and some suggested reading. They also have a section containing original writings submitted to them, a chat site, and a discussion bulletin board. Please feel free to log onto their site to see if it will be benefical to you and your family. Greif's Journey
