Was born in the Valley and now live here again but lived in the Berkshires for years. Raised our family there and moved back down to the Valley after they successfully moved on as young adults. Neither live locally now.  Retired due to full time caregiving for my husband who passed away this summer. Figuring out a new life.......  happy to share much more at the appropriate time.  Not looking for a widows group but rather other women looking to have people to do things with - gentle hikes, possible book group, movies, etc.  I like the concept as I understand it of what this site is attempting to do.
