Loneliness

[spotit3]

It's a lonely life when you lose your spouse and never seems to get any better. No-one to share the days happenings with, have a bedtime cuppa with or
just sit quietly with and enjoy the company.

gness - It is sometimes good to express your feelings and to know that there are others who feel the same way as you do and who sympathise with you and share what you are going through. That is why this web site is so nice.

What a lovely thing to write Andy - I could not agree more! It certainly makes us count our blessings ....................

Thank you Star. For a fairly fiesty lady with great friends I thought I was a bit wet still feeling lonely for B. after nearly four years but others here have made me see it is quite normal. It is a nice site. Don`t think I did much to cheer up spotit3 though.

I'm really sorry to hear that spotit, but you need to learn to enjoy your own company. When my first marriage ended I couldn't bear to be on my own, but I had to learn. I now really enjoy my own company and sometimes resent the fact that I can't have it more often!!! I know it's easier said than done, but it does help when you get to that stage.

Andy. Thank you for that. My husband often worked away and I loved when he came home. Extra hug for your wife when she returns and she`s a lucky lady.

this site is good for a lot of people who cant always express themselves well. the radio is a godsend for me to relax at times

I know for a fact i would be lost and devastated if anything happened to mrs Owd

Thank you again all you ABers. You have all made me feel better. I was a bit down last night but the offer of a cuppa by Jan was appreciated. I know there are a lot of people in a much worse position than myself and I do my best to help out when I can. I am not usually an old misery guts, or when I am I keep it to myself! Just to be able to come on here and be honest how I feel. Had a little smile at gneiss' comment about the ping of the oven, the little gossip about other holiday makers and the fight over the pillow at night, all the little things you don't notice until they aren't there.just wish I our pluck up courage to holiday alone.

I know, life hasn't been the same since.

I used to take holidays alone as o/h was working, i never minded, always met lots of lovely people, and even in a place where you can't speak the language you do get on, it takes a bit of put yourself out there.

spotit if you live near me, you'd be more than welcome to pop round for a cuppa and a chat - north west ?

[spotit3]

Oh, thank you so much for that kind offer of a cuppa and a chat. Has made me feel good, just the fact thnat you cared enough to issue the invite.
