My new online community, Widowed Village, a collaboration with the non-profit organization, the Soaring Spirits Loss Foundation, went live at midnight Monday.
It really WAS like giving birth, including the whole "9 months" part. This is a service widowed people have been asking me for ever since I energized the widowed space on Facebook late in 2009, but it's something that couldn't happen without a whole community behind it. Thanks to the many folks who helped -- and boy is there a lot to do coming up, too!
Thanks for your enthusiastic reception and all the ideas you've shared in the past few months. Badges for your blogs, a press release to make it easy to "get the facts" right, and other features will be coming soon.

It has a nice look and format. And it's moderated, which is important.
No place for remarrieds?
Best of luck.
Nope, we're trying to avoid putting anyone in too much of a niche.
Thanks!
It looks amazing, Supa. I can tell how much work, love and care has gone into it already. Great job to all involved.
Congratulations on the Widowed Village! I'm so happy you brought this 'baby' about! thanks for all your hard work for widows and for your super blog list (and including me--so kind of you). Wish we could meet sometime!
Thanks, Ferree, and Cancerwidow!
Make sure you sign up on the site's "MAP" function -- maybe you CAN meet up with some of us (and come on over here sometime... we ain't far!)
