How are you doing? Now with this virus life is about to get more lonely.
I like to read and listen to music.

Hello, Carole.
I am a Spanish 66 years old widow. I also lost my partner last year (1st. august 2018) to a sudden and aggresive cancer in just 20 days.
For the last few days I have been looking at Silversurfers page and coulnd,t decide to register until I read your post.
I know how you are feeling. And I know that talking about our dear ones is a way of healing our hearts. People in general, after one year of our loss, seem not to understand thaf we are still in sorrow.
So, if you don,t mind me being a foreigner who doesn,t have a perfect English, here I am to talk to you anytime you need to. Sometimes it is easier to vent our sorrows to a complete stranger...

You got that right about cats nagging you all day if they could talk! I thought that was very funny. If you would like to chat let me know.

I am so sorry to hear your struggling after your husbands passing. Its so hard to make friends. I take care of my husband who has Parkinsons. It can get lonely at times. I really have no life outside of home. Hoping to make some new chat friends here. I live in the US. Where do you live. You can also email me at [email protected].

I was widowed 7 years ago, and I am sorry to say that I still struggle, but life isn't as difficult or complicated as it was in 2009 as I think that I have slightly got used to my new life.
Not long after I was widowed I came across Way Up, a group run for and by Widows/Widowers, it isn't a dating site and everyone was very welcoming. Here is a link to the site .... http://www.way-up.co.uk. Why don't you give them a go, they know what you are going through and will never criticise you and will always try to support you.
Am down in Hampshire.
Looking forward to your reply.

Aggy
