Hi, and so sorry for everyone’s loss & sadness. Been 10 weeks for me since I lost Jeff. Been so grief poorly and lonely. Today is beginning of another week & woke up thinking ‘J’ wouldn’t want this …. Postman delivered brochure of solo coach trips & holidays …. Good bath & trying to feel better. Not up for a solo trip just yet; but looking at brochures makes me feel so much better.
Realise and understand this horrid grief so much now; and wished I could have understood before; I didn’t realise how much J’s close friends are hurting & feel somewhat selfish over that. They have been good to me, but feel a trip away (when strong enough) would be good and no ‘burden’ to friends & family.
You know, another month & maybe booking! And also joined ‘over 60s solo travel and friendship’, just from home, but already feel a little better.
Hope this helps - that pain is so debilitating and dark, has to clear sometime. Just waiting for it to come back, horrid.
one day at a time. I’m 10 1/2 months in. it eases a little over time. well done planning trips. i hope you find some really good and interesting destinations take care xx
Hi @Elaine8
Im so sorry for your loss, I’ve just read your post about holiday brochures, I’ve just been looking on line but it doesn’t seem to interest me. I think I’ll send for some brochures as it’ll be easier just to pick up and put down as I can’t concentrate for long. Like you I’m not ready but at least its a distraction.
Thanks for posting
Hi, so sorry too. Just horrid; one minute full of confidence, next complete opposite. I have also joined ‘over 60s solo travel & friendship’ on Facebook. It is good to read other people’s travels and maybe join a ‘meet’ group. Not dating site or anything - worth a look. Take care x
Yes, my heart pounding and worry about things that haven’t happened!!! A little at a time, and you will be proud, but know it is hard. Deep breaths and a tub of ‘Vicks’ - honestly. Take care & thinking of you xx
