I keep having mini breaks downs caused by memories which I have so many. I lived with mum over 50 odd years. There was only me and mum really, no one else. Now I’m alone! I have people in my life but it’s never the same. I have to be my own person some people won’t let you be. I miss mum so much!

I do too. only child lost both my wonderful mother and father.
When I had troubles, they were always there.
When it is very bad, I watch children’s shows, like today. I cannot handle the world sometimes. A companion would be nice.

Yes a companion would be nice.
I am now eight years from losing my mother, father 2013.
grief for me is in the past. it is many years to heal but is on par with the magnitude of the loss. just FYI. so it cannot be rushed. taking me almost a decade to heal from parental loss. a huge chunk of time. just FYI.
now I have to attend to the horrible business of rebuilding. have been and it is lots of work. but time flows along and repairs and moving forward is about the best all anyone can do.
I know a couple started dating at 80, after both lost spouses. they are having a great time so there is hope.
For most probably not!
Two sides of the coin
Realism and optimism
Is truth somewhere between the two
Can you give yourself a better chance and improve the odds
I guess all can do is try and hope for the best but with all the bad news it is difficult to remain positive. But they say act it until you make it if you can.
