oh yes, friends and acquantances do disappear, it is a horrible realisation that we are truly left on our own, as though being widowed was not enough. In -laws also vanished out of sight after a year or so. The only ones who have remained stable in my life are two sisters in aus and my sister up north plus of course my AC and my dgc. I am prepared for a life alone, have many good hobbies and will re-join hobby groups when it feels safe to do so
I am a bit like whiff, have absolutely no interest in any other male relationship, my husband was and is, my one and only. So a friend died and her husband, my husband`s work friend, has been ringing me from time to time, I, as always, have been trying to offer wise comforting words. He wants to meet up so I am now on avoidance, so much easier than making polite conversation over lunch. I can only guess what his wife was saying to him at the end of her life, `she is a good catch, good company, she will look after you`. No thanks, I have accepted being alone and it is not all bad, not at all. Life moved on when I accepted that being alone was now a fact of life
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
How do you acknowledge Easter.
