LCraig's bio
I have two grown up children & 6 grandchildren. I am a full time Kitchen Showroom Manager working in the New Forest area for a great Company. Unfortunately I was widowed in March 2015 but have fantastic Family & Friends who have all been wonderful in helping come to terms with my loss. I absolutely love to read, watch movies & walk my Labradoodle, Digby, on the beach or in the forest. My hobbies included baking birthday & wedding cakes, although rarely these days due to arthritis in both hands, Cooking for family get-togethers & I used to love travelling. -

Just joined so introducing myselfHello Lanlivery, I am so sorry for your loss & know exactly what you are going through. I lost my husband in March 2015 unexpectedly & it's been almost unbearable at times. I understand what you mean by not lonely but feel very alone. I do work full time & that gives me a bit of relief from being alone during the day, but it's when I close the door behind me every evening & at weekends that the silence hits me. I have begun to talk to myself & the dog quite a lot. Obviously he thinks I'm completely bonkers - the way he looks at me sometimes makes me smile though & I feel so much better having him to talk to. I talk to Pete's photo constantly telling him about my day & sharing funny things that happened- I even comment during TV programmes that he would either like or hate! I allow myself to cry when I feel the need & I really do own my grief because it represents the enormous amount of love I feel for him & the gratitude for the 40 years we had together. Things didn't turn out the way you & I thought it would, but suffering this huge tragic loss, has made me think differently about life in general. I am more tolerant of people but sad when I see them arguing or being aggressive toward each other. I want to experience things, watch my family grow & hopefully see all my grandchildren get married. But whilst living a completely different life & having become a completely different person now, I will always look back at the wonderful life I had with Pete & the enormous amount of love & laughter that we shared ............ thank heavens for memories. Do write back Lanlivery & talk as much as you want to. You are not alone at all. I'm a good listener & if you ever find yourself in the New Forest, you'll have a shoulder to cry on. xxViewDate:

New to thisHi Chrissie, your story is very similar to mine. I lost my husband in March 2015 very suddenly & we used to love traveling. I love to travel, but am not well off, love films, dining out, reading & walking my dog Digby (Labradoodle). I love hearing about people's lives, loves & interests, so would be pleased to chat. Hope to hear from you soon.ViewDate:

IndiaHi shitim60.........me too in June. Your "bucket list" is identical to mine & I'm not rich either. I am really interested in your story & how/when you plan to do this? Where are you in the country & do you work. Look forward to chatting if you're willing.ViewDate:

Members living in SpainI have only just found Silversurfers & am amazed at how many people are solo. I lost my husband back in March 2015 & apart from family treating me to a holiday or two since, I hated the prospect of holidaying alone & now it looks like I don't have to. I absolutely love Spain & have holidayed a few times in the past. Like you I am not well off but the places you mentioned are on my bucket list too. I still work full time & am capable of saving up, especially for a trip of a life time. I love to read (I'm a proper book worm) I love sight seeing & always have eaten where the locals do & avoided tourist spots like the plague. It would be lovely to hear from you & also find out more about where you, where you live in Spain & how much you charge for people to stay? I look forward to hearing from you (I always reply to posts too, so you won't be ignored) Kind regards Lynn -
