Before my husband had a stroke in 2013, I had a very good job as a catering supervisor, in charge of 3 large facilities.
After the stroke I gave up my job and became his full time carer, I also looked after grandchildren, helped, my kids in every way I could.
Husband passed away two years ago, I am now pension age and disabled.
Two of my kids have stopped talking to me and the third one and his wife only contact when they want something ( usually money).
I am struggling to see why I am here, feeling so lost and alone

Sorry to hear what you have been through. Are there any local social groups you could join? That might make you feel less isolated. I believe the WI groups are quite widespread. I find being occupied is a great comfort

That’s a great idea, I hope it goes well for you.
I don’t know if there is one near you but I know a lot of people who enjoy Rock Choir…you don’t actually need to be able to sing or read music, it’s more about enthusiasm and I know lots of people who have made connections through that
