Hi you young oldies, yes im one of you as well. I understand exactly about life not having a meaning anymore, im coming up to my 2nd anniversary without my hubby, at times i just dont know how ive got here, but here i am. No its not been easy, but i can say life does have meaning again but it means something differant now, I think when weve retired and then lose our partners there is no meaning at first, theres nothing to get up for in the morning, nobody to do anything for anymore, whats the point cooking just for myself, whats the point doing anything theres only me that can see the mess, but when the rawness wears off and believe me it will i promise you, you start to think ive got to shake myself out of this, i was lucky i suppose i volunteered at my local community centre, joined lots of groups helped out with others, i even set up my own friendship group 'mind body and soul' we meet weekly, go out to various places of interest, had sessions of dfferant things, we did a six week course on using smart phones and tablets, at the moment we are doing a six week local history course, when thats finished were doing a stress busting and relaxation therapy sessions, then healthy eatibg and cooking for one. I like to think my hubby would be proud of me. I still miss my hubby terribly, touching his photo and saying goodnight and goodmorning are still the first and last things i do everyday. I still write in my diary which has become a journal of my bereavement journey, i dont write everyday now like i used to do, but still tell him about things that have happened, and reading back i can see how much i have improved over the past 23 months. And finally i have got to say how much being a part of this amazing group has helped me get through, so thank you Dave and all the friends ive made on here.
I suppose all im trying to say is hang on in there life can have a meaning again, albeit differant but you owe it to your beloved partners to get as much as you can out of life, because whatever you do you are doing it for both of you.
Phew i think thats the longest post ive ever done on here im ready for a
