Yeh i know what you mean. I got talking to someone who lives near me. He was/is very nice and i like him but those confusing feelings are awful aren’t they ? You feel loyal to your partner but also its nice to talk to another human !!! And have a bit of friendship and theres no rules to when you actually meet someone btw xxx
hi Deb - yes they are strange feelings. We went to the trafford centre in manchester for a coffee and a meal out. Great company and nice not to be on my own. But OMG cried all the way home in my car…

We have to be fair and honest with ourselves- don’t carry a huge burden of guilt with you like a millstone around your neck.
It’s barely 3 weeks since my wife passed away from MSA, she has suffered deteriorating health since 2018 and particularly during the pandemic and was on palliative care from May 21 until t she passed away. She was struggling with pain, discomfort and depression and she is now at eternal peace and pain free.
I will love her until the end of time, we were cheated out of our time together - she was 63 only a month before she passed away and I was 60 in June.
Watching her fade away has taken a dreadful toll on me and I felt I was permanently running on empty. I am slowly getting better but my sleep schedule and concentration are not good, perhaps after the funeral things will improve as that’s a first important step for closure ….
I have started to slowly piece my life together again meeting friends and going to Rotary meetings with the friends we both shared at our club,
I’m not going to put pressure on myself, I will help other family and friends with their own journey where I can but I’m only responsible for myself.
I’m looking forward to seeing my photography friends in 2024 and hopefully some new friends along the way but friends is all I can cope with right now
You meeting up again ? I was talking to a guy near me but hes tactless … i think ive gone off him anyway ! He was probably an only child ! Lol x
