I am so sorry for your loss, dear one. You bring up one of the very reasons I started writing this blog. To reach back a hand to those on the path, and to lay a foundation of knowledge and community for those who will one day travel with me. I am so glad you were able to find some solace here. And, how wonderful to have the camping opportunities in front of you! The SOTF are great. There are also some other wonderful camping groups around. Since you are new, be sure to start listening to Janine Pettit’s Girl Camper Podcast. She teaches us so much about camping and RV’s. And the stories she shares are amazing. You can join her Girl Camper Page on FB or find her at girlcamper.com on the web! Hope our paths cross!!! ❤️

Just the night before my friend and I had a good conversation on this very topic. Neither one of us like the term widow. She has been single not by choice for 20 years and I am very new in this new life – 9 months. both of our minds bring up the vision of little ole ladies in black when we hear widow. I have accepted the fact that my husband is no longer alive and I am traveling this road alone with the help of friends and family, but I cannot accept that I am a widow. I have been following you for a number of years and you will never know how much you have helped me. Tomorrow I will bring home my brand new small motorhome and in June I will attend my first camp-out with SOTF!

My wife circle of friends includes many widows who like me lost our husbands in our 40’s. My widow sisters and I are committed to demonstrating that while we are different, and truly not “single by choice” we are still survivor thrivers. I have committed to creating intentional community to connect grow and heal my widow sisters into our new normal. It’s been great reading your posts since the beginning !
