Review for Soaring Spirits International, Simi Valley, CA, USA
I always thought I was a strong person. That all changed on Sept 6, 2008. I was only strong because I had the firm arms of my husband to hold me up. I was only 46 when John died. We had grew up together, only 17 when engaged. We laughed, cried, prayed, fought, loved, rasied children both together. How was I to go on without my better part of me? Then I found SSLF. I made plane & hotel reservations, knowing all along I was alone in this. That changed from the moment I got my registration packet to today. I wasn't alone anymore. I had women across the universe that were struggling just as I was. We all became one that weekend. I still have times of grief, probably will forever, but I know I can go to any one of my SSLF friends, (thru the magic of Facebook) anytime of the day or night, and I will find comfort knowing I am not alone.
