Hi @Liro
Thank you. Wow 42 years of being together that’s so great! The locket was just a lovely idea to have it around your neck at all time and spending time with family was so precious!
I couldn’t agree more as I found it to be true yesterday while walking the streets of Nice I thought… hmm…this although sad but uplifted feeling or sitting and crying at home alone and the answer clearly was…where should I go for the next anniversary? So I took a quick train trip to check out a town nearby called ‘Antibes’ and I was not disappointed so there I will be in September.
I hope you will have a special day in September wherever that may be.
Please take care
Sending love and big hugs

Thank you @Elite, I think it’s more of an escapism from falling apart at home rather than brave, but now I am glad I took that decision as while there I was hopeful that I would be more confident to take another solo trip for the next anniversary which will be his birthday in September.
Love and hugs xx

I hope the 29700 steps have made me a fit woman at least for a few days!
I guess I had to do whatever to distract me from being home alone and crying so getting away was the answer. Thank you for your kind words, I was so apprehensive at first kept asking myself should I or shouldn’t I. Then after having read another post on this forum; someone was encouraging everyone to travel solo, coupling with my love of travelling, it took over my fear so there I was in Nice! Now I am looking forward to taking him (spiritually) with me on my next trip in September.
Sending love & hugs xx

Hi@Angel1309,
Keep on doing what you’re doing, as they say:+1:
.
I totally agree - you never know!
Sorry apologies - I don’t know where the ‘+1’ came from. Xx
The +1 was her husband’s spirit with her in Nice and I’m sure he would’ve been xxx

So very brave to go on you’re own. You should be so proud of yourself, taking those steps. You deserve the best and i’m sure your husband must be immensely proud as he is watching over you. I couldnt contemplate going alone on holiday . My anxieties would be on over load. Your such a great person! Big hugs and congrats xx

You never know one day you may decide to just get up and go - never say never! I was so scared at first too and it took a lot of should I or shouldn’t I before I finally got here.
Thank you ever so much for your kind words 
the thought of my angel smiling and watching over me from up there does help ease the sadness, pain and loneliness enormously.
Sending love & hugs

So sorry you are feeling so down.
These fluctuations are painful and tiring in themselves.
Sometimes after managing to do something challenging or having a better or good time, I have found that a down time has followed.
Sending a very big hug.

Those are lovely photos it looks beautiful. Well done to you x Up here in North East Scotland we have not had much of a summer so far and its quite cold some days( even had to put my heating on some times! Saying that it looks lovely today but for how long is always the question, could be pouring of rain & wind this afternoon.
I am meeting friends today for a catch up and yesterday had visits from family members, distracts me from dwelling on being without my soul mate, but coming home to an empty house brings you back to reality xx
I’m proud of myself and all of us on here for coping without our other halfs because I’m sure its the hardest thing any of has had to deal with, losing my parents was hard enough but this we are all dealing with is just off the chart, take care everyone and keep striving to do our best each day, to make our partners watching us proud xxx

Thank you for your kind words. I hope you will have a peaceful and comforting time away with your family on the 1st anniversary.
I think we all should be proud of ourselves wherever we’ve chosen to go - it’s about taking one forward step! One more step that will give us more confidence! I feel less anxious about travelling solo now since I’ve been back and in fact, I’m already looking forward to the next one 
Your photos look so beautiful and you look great too!
Big hugs
