Hi Monna,

That's swell of you to take what I said so well Monna. That shows a lot of maturity in that you accept constructive criticism even if that criticism suggests that you find an entirely different niche to work into an internet business.

I would like to suggest two things Monna for what they are worth.

Unlike some of the input you have gotten I would not suggest that you try and make a niche money making thing out of the grief you feel at your husband's passing. I read some of the first link you left us and it was heartfelt and may I say a beautiful tribute to the love you felt for your husband. Some subjects are best left as is without trying to make money from them. I think this is one of them.

Not to mention that I don't think it would be good for you to continue to focus on the pain you felt when your husband passed away. To try and make a money making niche from that is going to remind you of that pain every time you look at your web site. That's not good Monna. A person can only take so much pain.

I would try and find something else. Something you feel some passion for but which does not revolve around the kind of pain you felt at your husband's death. Don't get me wrong Monna. There may come a day when you could indeed create some kind of money making website centered around helping others cope with grief but I don't think that day is now.

You are still in the grip of that grief. The feelings are still too raw for you. We all grieve when a loved one passes away. I don't think I've ever in my entire life experienced the kind of pain I felt when my father passed away a couple of years ago. It was an emotional pain like no other.

But if I can also say Monna...in the very midst of that pain God spoke to me. "I know what I am doing and you need to trust me" were the words He impressed on my heart. Those words cut through the cloud of pain I was feeling and enabled me to love my dad and those around me as he passed away. They enabled me to have the strength to go on and not only to just survive but to soar as an eagle above the natural paralysis of pain I had been feeling.

The Lord might want to give you that same peace Monna. To look to Him that you might receive the grace to let go of your husband and go on with your life. Forgetting what lies behind and looking forward to what lies ahead.

In any case Monna I would not suggest making a web site to try and monetize the pain you are still feeling. I don't think that would be good.

I hope I have not been presumptious in what I have said. My desire has been to give you the best input I know to give you. I hope to some small degree I have accomplished that.
