@Deb5 - thank you, thank you xx
Hi Lynne
Iām sorry youāre going through all of this. You have had one blow after another. But I think your strength of character will get you through and I admire your plans to travel in the new year. Apart from taking a gift to my brother and his dog I will also be hibernating from now on. My brother is going to my other brothers tomorrow but I canāt face it. All these years I have wrapped up all the packets of treats and toys for the fur baby then put them all in a box and wrapped it up so that she could have the excitement of opening them. My husband just used to shake his head and laugh!
Take care xx

Hi Lynne
The weather here is the same. Gale force winds, dark and depressing. The kind of weather where we always enjoyed being at home, snug and comfortable. I wonder nowadays how many things in life I took for granted.
Just hope thereās something on TV that appeals to me. Most of the time my mind drifts off anyway so donāt suppose itāll really matter. I just like the noise.
Take care xx

Sososad thanks for your reply itās helpful when someone can understand what I am going through I know there are many other people who are going through the same thing as me but the difference is I have no friends or family to help me with the grief and loneliness I am also suffering with anxiety and I think people are wary of me because of my attempt to end my life I am now under the mental health team and they visit me every day I still donāt know how to cope without my partner but I am coping a bit better because of people like you who are showing me that people do care and thanks for your hugs same back to you take care

Hi @Deb5
My daughter and her husband and 2 grandchildren aged 13 and 11 stay in Sydney.
My husband and myself were their last year so special memories of Christmas 2022 this year i will spend alone but remember the good times last year before he died.
Maybe in 2024 i will be able to travel back but it will be hard.
Life goes on and my love for him will never fade only wish he was still here with me.
