About us

This site is in the process of building a community of and for those who’ve lost their spouse, sharing the pain, and sharing how we are dealing with it. We’ve all had our own response to our lover’s death. But only whose who have experienced this personal tragedy can “feel” the pain of another.

The title here, is “About us.” The community, “Alone Again,” is about us; those of us who are “Alone Again.” Come, let’s build this compassionate community together.

I am Peter (Boehmer); peter@alone-again.me doing the content (or whimpering) about some of my “dealings” with the loss of my wife, Raquel (aka Ricki) yet not our relationship. What work(ed) for me might speak to you as most likely that which does not.

Jim (Dugan);  jim@jimdugan.com  is a web master, web designer, and in my experience, an empowering god send. He does more than just the technical stuff. Most of the photos here (at least to start) are his.

You; you are more than this site’s audience. For me, you are as important to this site as Jim. Without either, I would be mowing the lawn or whimpering to Ricki and our children. The kids are thrilled at this effort in the hope it will reduce the whining.

Well, then, hope we’ll be together next time.

Peter
