Are you planning an Intergenerational holiday this year?I'm going on a cruise with my youngest son. We're sharing a cabin. He's never been on a cruise before so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he enjoys it. Some very good friends of mine are going as well. I lost my husband 18 months ago so the company will be good. He loved his cruises.ViewDate:

Hope you are well All the best LeilaViewDate:

Looking or frienshipHi. So sorry that you lost your mum as well. My parents died within a year of each other. My father had leukemia and my mother had a stroke so I was looking after them both. I gave up work to do it but never regretted it. My husband retired when he was 52. He was a bank manager for his sins He was offered early retirement and he grabbed it. Such a shame we don't live near each other. I've joined a coffee morning get together. Everyone is very friendly and I go with a neighbour. I've gone mad and booked a holiday for the end of May. I've booked a cruise. We used to go on one every year so it's going to be very emotional. He loved them and could really relax. It's a very strange feeling that when I'm in company I feel it more than when I'm on my own. It's like being a spare part. Especially when others have their partners with them. I suppose I'm lucky in a way that there are others who have lost a partner who have no one. No children or family or friends. That's a tragedy.. Do keep in touch. Keep well LeilaViewDate:

Looking for like minded friends to chat with onlineHi. I'm Leila. I joined the group a few weeks ago. Would be great to chat. Sorry to hear that you broke your hip. About me. Well I lost my husband in October 2021. We'd been married for 61 years so it was a major shock as it was so sudden. I've got 2 sons, 5 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. I love going to the ballet,reading,doing crosswords and listening to mainly classical music. I also play Scrabble on line. Very addictive. Unfortunately I don't drive. It would have been very handy but the buses here are very good and at least I don't have to find parking spot. I live in a London suburb of Chingford which is in East London. Hope you see my message. Would be nice to chat. All the best LeilaViewDate:

We'd been married for 61 years so it was a lot to take in. He collapsed at home on a Tuesday morning and died the next evening in hospital with an infected gall bladder. I live in London in one of the suburbs. Chingford in East London. I'd love to move but the thought of packing up puts me off. Hope you are well Love to chat some more LeilaViewDate:

Looking or frienshipHi. I totally understand how difficult it is to get used to living on your own. I found in the beginning that just having to cook for myself took an awful lot of getting used to. Like you I started going out with my husband when I was 15 and he was 16. So many years together. It's a lifetime so losing him so suddenly has created a big hole in my life. It's a shame all of us on here can't get together. Hope you are well Best wishes LeilaViewDate:

Looking or frienshipYour experience is similar to mine. My husband collapsed in the bathroom. He'd locked the door too. Fortunately he managed to open it. I called an ambulance that took 3 hours to arrive. It took 5 paramedics to get him down the stairs. This was on a Tuesday. By the following evening he was gone. It was an infected gallbladder. It's such a shock when it's so quick like that. Do keep in touch. It would be nice to chatViewDate:

New MemberHi. I'm Leila from London England. I've just joined today so I'll tell you a bit about myself. I'm 83 years young. I lost my husband in October 2021 so I'm having to get used to living on my own. Well me and my cat. I've got 2 sons,5 grandchildren and 8 greatgrandchildren. I play a lot of Scrabble on line. A bit addictive. I love the ballet,listening to music, doing crosswords and reading. My boys ( my eldest is 60 and my baby is 58) have been amazing since losing my husband. We'd been married over 60 years so it's a lot to get over. It would be great to meet new people on line. Hopefully have lots to share. -
