If you are dealing with a personal or family crisis, it can be important to connect with people that understand what you are going through. Finding the right support group can be a big help. This is a guide about finding a support group.
Community newspapers often have news about when support groups meet and where. Local mental health professionals likely have this information as well. Support group information might also be known by church offices.

I lost my husband in February and it still feels like it was yesterday. So I need a support group of people that are going through the same things I am. Can anyone help me find a widow support group?

First of all I am so very sorry for your loss. I know what you are going through as I lost my dear husband in Oct. He was my world, my best friend & the love of my life. I had it all as he was affectionate, adoring, loving, a fixer upper, you name it & he was it. I wanted for nothing.
He gave me 3 beautiful children, was a great provider & he always took great care of me. I only wished I had been able to clone him & then let others see that I had the best. I am very fortunate that he picked me to marry & we had 50 wonderful years of marriage.
I attended a bereavement group @ a hospice group. Go online to find a local hospice & contact them. It helped me somewhat but things will never be the same. I felt like my world fell apart & I am s.l.o.w.l.y healing. The grief will never go away but hopefully my heart will slowly heal.
My hope is to once again feel joy & happiness. I realize this is not an easy request & my sweet husband would not want me to be sad for the rest of my life. I try to focus on the happy & funny things he did & said to make me enjoy my life with him. I still cry a lot & it is so lonely & empty @ times. But I keep trying & hopefully you will too. Blessings.
