I’ve been reading the posts on here about wanting to join our partners in the afterlife. It makes depressing reading. I lost my beautiful wife of 42 years in July. She died from complications following a colonoscopy to investigate bowel cancer. I was her carer and am recovering from a stroke. I have no family and am alone but, I taught myself to spin and joined a craft group and a spinners guild. People are the cure for grief. I have always been the positive one and that won’t stop now. I have a lovely house surrounded by my own land. I make friends easily and make good use of my bus pass to get out. I’ve cried every day since her death but I will get through this

Yes thank you Nigel for sharing words of hope. I used to be the positive one too and also was the carer for my husband for four years ( we had been married for 30 years) not feeling positive right now sadly and cry every day too.
But yes - I think not turning down invitations and being proactive about getting out and doing things can only be helpful
Very well done Nigel. I also find some of the posts depressing reading so I thank you for trying to put some positivity back onto the forum.
It is hard work every step of the way but it can be done as you are bravely showing us.
Good luck to you and enjoy your bus pass. I do.
