Women who have experienced the death of their husbands deal with many emotions, challenges and struggles as they grieve their loss. Although no one can take these struggles away and even though every widow’s experience is unique, spending time with others who have had a similar experience can often help in the journey of grief.
Also on our show Kathy Vandeberghe said, the retreat is an opportunity for widows to immerse themselves in healing with no distractions in a relaxing, supportive and positively charged atmosphere with others who have experienced the loss of a husband. Participants will learn coping skills and about resources that may help during the grieving process.
The weekend will include special guest speakers, Tracy Johnk, Social Worker at Jamestown Regional Medical Center and Grief Recovery Specialist, Jeanne Putnam from Wahpeton, ND. The weekend will also include a panel of Jamestown Area Grief Support Team members who are widows; time for personal sharing and discussion; a Service of Remembrance and workshops on journaling, self-nurturing/pampering and understanding the grief journey. There will be time for informal interaction among those attending and time for private reflection while walking the beautiful Maryvale grounds.

Laney is asking for 13 new positions in his 2014 budget request as the jail prepares to quadruple the number of beds reserved for federal prisoners.
The jail now guarantees 10 beds for the U.S. Marshals Service at a daily rate of $60 per inmate through an arrangement made when the federal government provided grant money to help cover the cost of the jail, which opened in 2002.
Starting next year, Laney plans to set aside another 30 beds for federal prisoners at a higher negotiated rate of $75 per inmate. That’s the same rate other area law enforcement agencies pay the county.
