Divorce and moving on

Hi there. This is my first post on silversurfers, So it's a bit hard to put into words, I'm 67 and in the process of going through a divorce after been married for 48 years .


I'm starting to look around on getting a place of my own not sure if I could afford a rented flat or something like that, I know other people are probably are in similar situations as I am and it tuff. So moving away from this house we've been in for 32 years is going to be a very big wrench, I'm a Catholic and my faith has helped so much to move forward.


I think so much of others in this similar situation and my heart goes out to you all. Keep positive have a good think about life and what's going to be good for you and your family. It would be interesting if anyone else are going through a similar situation as I am for advice on moving either close by or move further afield thankyou for taking the time to read this. God Bless. Clive..

Hi, I'm in a similar situation, my husband left 3 years ago after 35 years of marriage,just leaving me a note, . To say I was shocked is putting it mildly. However I discovered as time went on that I didn't miss him at all, I did miss someone to chat to and go out with, however now I can suit myself what I do. I did put myself out and now have increased my circle of friends and joined many things including the local pantomime group!! My main concern was holding on to my property which I've managed at great expense. My divorce has just gone through. I would suggest you trying your local U3A which is university of the 3rd age. This organisation has monthly meetings but also lots of groups covering a variety of subjects If you've lived in one place for a length of time I would think it is better to stay put because starting again in later life is difficult Good luck
