Everything Can Be A Gift

--by tonigirl, posted Mar 28, 2007

Back about 4 years ago I started to attend a grief support group. My sister's husband died in a car accident and a year and a half later she was killed. It took be about 1 year before I went to get support. Since then I have become a faciliator of the group. It doesn't seem like a big deal to me to give in this way, but the people who attend are ever so grateful that someone is there for them and knows what they are going through.

This has inspired me to start a support group that I would facilitate for people who are separated and going through a divorce. I'm in the process of getting divorced and I attended a divorce support workshop and WOW. Now I see my divorce as a GIFT. I want to share the possibilities with others. The group I am starting is for Spanish speakers, because believe it our not in my California neck of the woods, there isn't anything for these folks.
