I lost my husband suddenly and he made sure if anything happened to him I would be financially ok. That being said five months after losing him I had to get my arse in gear and do something so I decided
to volunteer at a local drop in centre. We give out food and an all sorts of advice and I hold my hands up, that place saved me. I was in a very dark place unable to see a way forward after losing my husband after 44+ years of being together. I have been there for 18 months now and the girls who help alongside me together with the people we help are brilliant. Itâs given me a purpose to carry on.
Itâs that first step thatâs hard but once through that door it gives you purpose - we all help each other

Thatâs such an amazing thing to be doing. I also volunteer but nothing as vital as what you are doing. Mine is at a craft club for older people. Still makes me have to go out so good to have the commitment. x

I wasnât so lucky it was out of nowhere and we never had anything in place at all. I have to carry on working the same as before it happened but different being we worked together st home but now I have a different job which means I leave the house now as I couldnât carry on without him.
Glad you are happy in your job it really helps x

Yes, please stay here Heather. Its tough, tough, tough. We all understand that. I think weâd all give one another a hug if we could. Yes, I miss the human touch too. Do stay. Sometimes you can be just a bystander, like me. However, there are other times that you want a good old rant. We are here, we donât judge.
Best wishes.

Hello there, @Mickeyboy31 - it is tough to get through the bad days of grief. I found it helped me to focus on the tiny things - a walk in the sunshine, a cup of tea, a bird bobbing around in the garden. It helped to shoo the clouds away, if only briefly, but that mattered. Spring is coming, Michael, and the days are getting longer. Not long now until the daffodils come out. I am looking forward as best as I can, and I am glad we can chat and share how we feel with all our friends on here. I hope your Thursday is ok.
