Should all pensioners over 75 be entitled to a free TV licence?Not all pensioners are rich. Quite a number of my friends have to rely on additional benefits to top their pension up as the basic pension is inadequate to live on.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.I just joined last night. I lost my husband 6 months ago when he collapsed and died suddenly. We had no warning. Then I lost my last brother 6 weeks later. Again no warning. I am feeling a little shell shocked but recovering slowly. My son and his family have been very good but they live an hours drive away. An ex-work colleague who was widowed last year told me recently that she found it surprising how friends seem to disappear when you lose your partner. She is right. A number of people I thought of as friends have not contacted me since the funeral. I do a lot of needlework and gardening - the latter from necessity. Also read a lot. A small group of us meet every couple of months for lunch and a catch up. However, I was surprised just how vulnerable and isolated you can feel after the loss of your husband/wife. This seems an interesting site which I shall be popping back to for the interesting items. It is lovely to read what others are doing and thinking.
