Now...about THIS SITE! Welcome to the Support Site* For Widows Only!** where widows***
meet,
learn,
share,
and
heal
together.
It won't be easy to shed your cocoon...
and become a butterfly,
so let us try to help.
 Feel free to browse. Read whatever interests you.
Would you like to be a part of this site?
If you want to help others or seek help for yourself on the Message pages,
it is simple to join FWO. As a member you may ask questions, answer them,
or visit with widows just like yourself. Jump in whenever you are so moved.
Messages are monitored by the managers to protect your privacy,
but they are posted as soon as possible. This site is open to all females who have lost their life-mates.
You need not be accepted by a manager to join at this time.
It is open to "all," but, as the title says, it is For Widows Only*.
We direct widowers and others to sites designed especially for them or for both sexes.
After joining, all you have to do when you log onto this site is to
click the "Sign In" button at the top of MSN 's blue banner. Voila!
When it changes to "Sign Out," you are free to participate in every way
(except for changing pages, a job for managers only). Help us stay open and accessible to all. Report abuse or distasteful
messages to the site's Assistant Managers.  Click title here to buy your very own copy of Annie's book,
For Widows Only! Note: Links break. Please report broken links to Annie at:
forwidowsonly@gmail.com
or: mailto: groups.msn.com/ForWidowsOnly/welcome3.msnw 
Annie and her friends invite YOU and YOUR FRIENDS to make this site your
FWO Coffee Shop or Tea House, where widows gather
to discuss their concerns and help each other
through the pitfalls associated with widowhood. Why do this? Because... "Grief shared is halved,
Joy shared is doubled."
Your managers and counselor-friends monitor the site to ensure privacy,
and usually join in a conversation only when they have
urgent information, beautiful thoughts, or
when one thinks it necessary to do so. But it's seldom needed.
You will find some very wise widows aboard.

* For the book that inspired this site, "widow" refers to anyone who has lost his or her mate to death. For this site, however, widow shall mean any female who has lost her mate.
