Just joined so introducing myself
Watch this postMy husband died four and a half years ago, I moved from the North to the South-East to be nearer my children and grandchildren. I miss him dreadfully but am trying to make a new life for myself. Not lonely but feel very alone and don't sleep too well.

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. xx
Lost my wife of 36 years earlier this year.
I have a positive outlook and a belief in people being the source of good things to come in the form of friendship and company.
