Yes, strange, we all feel equally lonely especially on weekends. During the week you have some distractions (whether you want it or not) like phone calls, letters that need to be answered, everythings happends during the week. Fridays afternoon I can already feel the difference…

Hi Blue
I met a glamorous lady of 84 years old bereaved 14 years ago and 20 years older than me, she is lovely, My hubby was younger by 11 years, and all of our friends were his age. I originally had the same problem people distanced themselves. She brought me hope, that I still have a life, I don’t know yet, she leaves me to it, there is an invitation to coffee at hers anytime, I am scared of crying again so I put it off, but I will go, love to you, just try and get through each day x
It’s 4,30am and I’m wide awake, I also lost my husband in March this year, sudddenly no warnings, I found him which is a trauma on its own, it was a Sunday, Sundays are not and never will be the same again, he was 64, we have been married for 45yrs, he was my life, my heart is broken, trying to navigate life without him is the hardest thing, we have 3 children and 4 grandchildren, who are all grieving too, we are all very close, but it’s so hard getting through the days without my soul mate, sending everyone lots of love.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my partner eleven months ago
He died suddenly, I came back in and found him. George was 66 and we’d been together for 40 years. I am broken, my heart is broken and as the anniversary approaches I feel I’m back at the beginning again It’s good that you have supportive family, there are many people completely alone.
I do try to get myself out and go for lunch and visit friends and family but I don’t really enjoy it, sometimes I just feel sad and it’s so exhausting trying to participate in the conversation. Then it’s back to an empty house.
You’re still very early on in your grief and everyone grieves differently. Hope you find peace on the coming months. Take care.

Hello Blue
I think I get where you are coming from. Weekends for me now just feel like another day. The days all seem to morph together now like they did during covid and sometimes I forget what days are what. I was the youngest of 3 but growing up I was very introverted and very withdrawn and didn’t have many friends I was the spare until someone better came along. Actually amazed at how I met and married my late husband. Friends were just the people he knew and now he’s gone they are all but non existent. I quite enjoy my own company though being a natural introvert but sometimes the emptiness feeling can get a bit intense. Invitations to anything are very few and far between now. We used to always go out to dinner every now and then on special occasions birthdays, anniversaries etc or just for the hell of it. Don’t think I’ve been out for a sit down dinner for at least 5 years all the time he was ill and since he passed 3 years ago. He wasn’t really a social bunny and just liked it if the two of us went out but if there was something else on for one of his friends he would just go and show face for an hour or so. So you’re not alone in how you are thinking and its good to get these things off your chest
