Welcome!

Welcome to Grief's Journey!

We appreciate your visiting our bulletin board (also known as a discussion board) and making the decision to become a member of the Grief's Journey community.   It is our sincere hope that your time spent reading and participating in the forums will be pleasurable and in some way helpful to your personal grief journey.   We invite you to visit the Newcomers Place thread in the Newcomers forum to introduce yourself to the extent you are comfortable.

In addition to our bulletin board, we hope you have visited or will soon visit the Grief's Journey website to become familiar with our features and offerings, such as the Scheduled Discussions and Chat Room.  We also welcome and will appreciate any suggestions and/or contributions you may have to enhance our board.  As a member of the Grief's Journey community, we will appreciate your periodic perusal of the website and your notification if you should notice errors or operational problems.

When participating on Grief's Journeys bulletin board, please keep foremost in your mind, everyone's individuality and possible place in their personal grief journey.  Remember that you cannot always correctly detect someone's mood or personality through the written word.  Remember that it is a diverse community with differing levels of language usage tolerance.  Remember that humor is a healing tool for many people and that the emotions of grief can happen at one time for you and at a different time for another.  This is all to give you an idea that what is offensive to one, may not be offensive to another.  However, discourteous, insensitive, and malicous behavior is offensive to everyone, nearly without exeception, and it will not be tolerated at Grief's Journey.  Please help to keep our community an inviting and civil community.

Again, thank you for deciding to join our forum.  We hope you will find at Grief's Journey, a true sense of community and that through your interaction with other members, you will find the kinship, encouragement, and inspiration that will help you traverse your personal grief journey.

On behalf of the staff of Grief's Journey, it is with warmest regards that we welcome you.

Sincerely,
The Grief's Journey Staff
