Hi Sadie, I have joined and looked at the group. It looks fantastic. I haven’t been to any meet ups yet (busy with work, etc) but will pluck up the courage to do so. Thank you :blush:

I just wish there was something like this in my area. Essex.

Hi Annie, why don’t you join some widows groups on Facebook and then ask in the groups if anyone lives beside you and meet up for coffee. That’s how I started👍 there’s lots of widows groups, join a few and ask on each one ? Widow & rising uk is good, make sure the groups are in the UK.
Good luck let me know how it goes :+1:

I’ve just joined the Jolly Dollies group. They have groups all over the country and it seems to be just for women. I’m meeting up with them for coffee for the first time tomorrow but they also seem to organise meals out and other excursions. You have to pay an annual fee of £20, but I thought that isn’t really too much. I’m just hoping that they’re not all too posh, especially when I turn up in my dungarees!!

Hi, how did your meet up with the Jolly dollies go. Hope it was good.

I met up with 3 other ladies and they seemed really nice. We had a good natter while drinking some coffee or tea. They had all been widows for a number of years and when they asked me how long ago it was I had lost my husband, just under 9 months, they said that I was still in very early days so shouldn’t expect to be up to doing much or feeling great all of the time. I think if it had been too many people then I may have felt overwhelmed, but meeting up in a group of 4, one of the others was also new to the group, helped. I am now going to go out with them on Sunday for a lunch somewhere else in Kent, luckily one of the ladies I met is going to pick me up. So baby steps, but I think it’s going to be good and they were very welcoming. xx

That is so good to hear. I am so pleased for you. I belong to Jolly Dollies but nobody in my area seems to want to meet up unfortuntely. I hope you enjoy your Sunday lunch and your new friendships. We all need these, dont we. Take care, Ann.x
