lonely

Welcome Sheila as a 69 year old disabled widow, may I say I can sympathise. I live at the other end of the country, but rely on GN for friendship.

Hi I hope you find a like minded friend who lives near. You sound a remarkably brave women who has overcome more than your fair share of heart ache. I hope to see your name on lots of posts. Good luck x

Welcome Sheila, we all like the site so hope that you will too!Yes, check out the local page, there is bound to be somebody near you.Join the WI in your town or village?or gardening club or history club?

Welcome, Sheila. I too don't live near you but coming on here to chat, or just to browse if you don't feel like chatting, is a great way of feeling less lonely. I am so sorry for your loss and hope things improve for you soon

Welcome- sorry I do not live remotely near you but hopefully there will be somebody. I am also very sorry to hear of your loss. I warn you, GN is addictive!

ahhh thank you so much for your lovely replies I feel alot better already!!

bless you all x

Hi Sheila and welcome. I'm very sorry to hear about your son. We lost a dear nephew this way a couple of years ago. Something that is so tough to deal with, no matter how resilient you might be. There are quite a lot of us here in the north-west and some of us have meet-ups for lunch and a loooong chat every two or three months. There's a Blackpool Local Forum, too. Just click on Local at the top of the page and you'll soon find it. Do join in and get to know what's going on around here

So sorry to hear about your problems, unfortunately I don't live anywhere near you but I am sure some GNs do. I live alone following the death of my DH and have no children and no immediate family of my own close by (they all buggered off to Australia - was it something I said!). I can understand that it may be lonely at times and I hope you meet someone soon to share your trips round the garden centre, in the meantime you will find GNs very supportive (((hugs)))

sheilaR, welcome to Gransnet. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope that being able to chat with us on here will help you a bit and perhaps give you a chance to meet up with a few of us who are local to your area.
I'm sure you'll find a warm welcome coming your way. It's good to have you with us.
