I'm also an 80 year old male, recently bereaved, though my wife of 59 years is still alive. She has dementia, and has been confined to a long-term Care facility for the last year and a half. She'll never come home. But she still may out-live me. I was married to her my whole adult life. And it was rich though not always happy. Now that life is suddenly over, but I'm still walking around. I'm heart broken, and have learned that's not just hyperbole. I've tried many things, after deciding to go on living, but only have found temporary diversion. All of my birth family are deceased, and most of my friends. Only one of our 3 sons is in communication with me. I desperately miss just simple affection, sweetness, common respect, and rich conversation, in that order. I hate being so needy, but it makes no sense to deny it.

I am recently bereaved after almost 60 years of marriage. We travelled a lot and I find it difficult to contemplate holidaying alone, also really miss conversation on anything and everything as my husband and I had a wide variety of interests and loved to laugh.

Are there any lonely 78-80 year old widows looking for companionship,.
They don’t seem to go on the dating site. They would be well cared for.

I am sure there are many lonely senior widows and widowers in Wirral who would love companionship. Don’t forget it’s cheaper to cohabit and travel. Hopefully one can drive.
