I didn't realize I would strike such a chord among other widows with the entry below about "The Lady of the Tiger."  We also discussed it at the Widows List group meetings this week. Some members thought I should take my "comments" advice below and ignore this woman. Others agreed with our groups' therapist Carol Nevin. She said I shouldn't do anything at first because we should never "put our words,or things we imagine, in other people's mouths or minds." In other words, I may have been wrong about the whole thing and should give her a few more chances to make sure I'm being snubbed.

But if it continues, I'll do as Carol suggests, contact the woman privately to say I'd like to be her friend, and ask if I've done anything to upset her. If I have, I'll be happy to apologize.

I'll let you all know.
