GrievingHi , I became a widow , just over 3 years ago. It is hard , I sympathise with you . I have 3 children , 2 live in New Zealand ,& 1, 2 & a half hours away from me. So I get lonely on times. I joined a local club in my village where I made a lot of good friends , we meet up once a week, organise outings to theatres etc, quizzes , meals out . At least once a month .This has been a life saver for me . My children worry about me on my own , but since making the effort to get out & do something about my loneliness, they see the difference. I still get bad days , I guess that's normal. I thought about moving nearer my daughter , but realised I would miss so many things here. So hopefully you too will be able to make more friends & that will help , I am 77 years old , but in my head I'm 30.Lol. Good luck.ViewDate:

Do you feel lonely at times?My husband died Xmas 2015 , his family live 40 mins away, but I hardly see them , his daughter rings me now & then , months in between. My children live too far away , 2 in New Zealand , one in Hertfordshire, so don't see them as often as I would like, but they are all busy with their lives. I joined a local Hub in my village , made a few good friends, most are couples, so it's harder to butt in their lives. One friend is a widow like me , & we go shopping , she can drive , so we go to garden centres etc. People say ring me if you need help , very occasionally I have. Now if they said to me , come over & have a cuppa & a chat , that would be great , being invited makes a big difference . I keep busy , love gardening , hate weekends , & winter . I have a little dog , she is my best friend . Miss the old days when my husband was around making me laugh. Loneliness is hard, but I do make an effort to get out , otherwise climbing the walls,but I'm luckier than some .Sorry to rant on. Cheers Amycakes. -
