Your timing is perfect! It's Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, which typically brings a big spike in activity so it's easier to find friends and communities.

I also recommend my Twitter Exodus post, twitter_refugees, and getting_started with resources for newcomers.

My sympathies. I have a post on Coping with Grief. I also do a Hard Things post periodically and that was this week's Wednesday post.
