Where are the widgets now???

I just updated today to the new Lollipop on my Samsung Galaxy S4. First of all, I bloody hate the garish new colors, but quite aside from that my Google Calendar widget, which was on my home screen and is literally THE most important thing I have on my phone, disappeared. I opened the Apps and there is no longer a Widget tab like there used to be that allowed you to choose from all available widgets. How do you get the widgets now? All my other widgets are fine. PLEASE tell me that Google calendar widgets still exist. If I can't get that back, I will have to roll back the phone. I'm considering that anyway because this update is atrocious. Can anyone please tell me how to get my widget back, and how to roll the phone back to the previous version?

Long Press on home screen to select Widgets. Google Calendar is still there. You cannot roll back the OS.

Ok. I found it....but the widget is COMPLETELY different?? It only gives you "today" or the whole month???? And it takes up twice as much space??? There's no slim vertical option like before that shows you the week that's scrollable?? Why did they remove that option?? I can't believe how awful this is. I REALLY need it back the way it was before.

I feel your pain CallistaZM, I used the 2 x 2 calendar widget before, easy to get to daily, weekly, or monthly views. Using the 2x4 calendar now and not impressed
