My nearest neighbour's husband died ?6 years ago. They had no children. She's late 60s. After he died I used to look after his dog during the day, because she was still working. He returned home at night.
Then last year the dog died.
The poor woman is looking unwell, she has stomach problems, from 'stress' she says. She had a man friend but this seems to have fizzled out. She goes out a lot to fill the time, then can't relax when she gets home.
I wonder if some of you other ladies on here who have been in a similar position can offer advice that I can pass on to her.
What would be the reaction in your workplace?
