Grief groups help people through difficult times DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com Last weekend marked the fourth anniversary of the death of my husband, Brian.
We had been together seven years and had been married just under nine months when he died. Dallas librarian Ray Sablack had lost his husband a week earlier.
As Ray and I both returned to work, we each kept a chat window open on our computers to check in on each other regularly and generally comment on everything and everyone bothering us.
And there was a lot of bothering going on. As days became weeks and then months, we knew others must be going through what we were, and we looked for a grief group for people who had lost a same-sex spouse.
