"Hello everyone, I'm new here. I lost my wife last year, and it has been one of the hardest journeys of my life. Some days are better than others, but the loneliness can be heavy. I know many of us have gone through similar things, and I'd like to hear how others found ways to cope and start living again. I'm also looking to make new friends to talk with - sometimes just sharing stories makes the weight feel lighter. How did you start rebuilding after such a big loss?"
