Hi @Pam14
Yes im on my own too for my 1st Easter last year he was here with me.
Now just me no family and friends have their own families to look after.
It really is lonely when you were just used to being a couple you just had each other.
Trying to make new friends and do more but it us hard in your 60’s.
I have been for walk today and now back to empty house. Life really is so hard now.
Take care

I agree it’s nice to be able to cook for someone and they appreciate it! My angel loved my cooking and was always excited to taste whatever I experimented with new recipes - no more of that pleasure now 
Spent first Easter alone gardening, sadly 
Hope everyone was okay x

We usually went away for a weekend break around this time each year but last year we didn’t as we stayed home and started planning for our semi- retirement which was to commence in Jan.2024!
It never happened devastatingly

Two months today.
My life has changed so much. This time last year I was working Monday to Friday, had my yoga and other hobbies, and of course my lovely boyfriend. Now I have none of those things. Can’t face yoga since he went, not working and I haven’t seen anyone since Friday morning. But I’m not ready to actually do anything, scary really.

Hi @ Pam14
Im up now but weather here in Scotland is dry but very cold.
Easter Monday so bus service sunday timetable
I will force myself to go out otherwise like others here wont see anyone all week.
I volunteer for Macmillan planning to do shift on Friday 1st one since my husband died 10 months ago not sure how it will go but give it a try. At least see people on Friday.
The new norm is not what i want but it is now what i have. On your own it is too hard at the moment.
Take care
