Morning Deb, I hope you have a peaceful day with no upsets. It’s such an awful time for us all, particularly with first anniversaries coming up soon. Look after yourself.
Sending hugs xx

@Jodel712 you are not alone and it’s fully understandable that you are still upset . As you said it’s the biggest loss losing a partner . I have done a lot these 6 1/2 months but it’s so hard without him . The house is so quiet and so is my life now

Thanks love. Horrible children - thats whats upset me … callous and mean and im not talking to them again ! And they will get nothing from me for xmas either … not even grandchildren … if i see them - which i probably wont tbh - i will give them money otherwise they can all bog off ! All this generation seem to care about is money ! And what they can get out of you ! They dont seem to care about people …

@Deb5 Wow, they’re strong words. But if people aren’t there to support you, sod them.
You’re not obligated to support (financially) anyone, just because they’re family.
Why settle for Wales? How about some where in Spain or perhaps Corsica?

@Deb5. We all have to be careful and look after our money, especially now that we are on our own. We never know what we may need it for, private carers or nursing.

And i don’t mind doing things for the kids sonetimes but with their attitude i really dont like doing anything for them right now tbh … their dad would be livid with them and their behaviour !

@Jodel712 no I think a lot of people will appreciate your honesty, I do!
I’m finding very hard, like you say there is other grief & I feel I’m grieving not only for my partner but for the life I lost too. Everything has changed for me, new job, constant problems ever since she’s gone & that’s honestly not an exaggeration & now my own health problems which is worrying me because I’m off from work & can’t afford to be but I’m waiting for a heart monitor to be fitted & I’ve got a throat/chest infection that won’t go. The emotional pain on days is so unbearable because I don’t know what life holds in the future for me?
Love & peace being sent back to you

Mmmm … long way though … got my mum here - yeh my sister is in spain … xx
Perhaps just a long holiday somewhere sunny would suffice! ) (though that’s always a bit hard with a dog. I think the longest we’ve been away without the dog is a couple of weeks).

I have got COVID and have a hoarse throat so woke up worse than yesterday. I was supposed to get a Tel appointment which did not happen yesterday when I Tel 111 to see if I qualified for treatment as I am 79 so have thick yellow sputam now. Being bored with COVID is twice as bad missing what little bit there is to stem boredom.
How long did your COVID last? I feel scared alone.
Just watch TV, knit few stitches, wash up, endless. Trying to think how to ease symptoms, text, face book or read. Some one said 2d yes that is right. The garden could do with a bit of attention but have no energy. For some reason that has been only interesting thing apart from seeing my grandsons but guess that is how I caught COVID aas three teachers got COVID and little one is poorly. But it is everywhere. As was predicted with no mass vaccination.
I had been careful before not feeling like mixing anyway. Then suddenly felt I wanted to after first year then bang. We ought to talk about other subjects on here rather than awfulness for bit light relief.
