Of course I can do it alone ..

No problem RosieandherMaw 🙂

I’m widowed and coping very well, but I can’t do everything alone. From a practical point of view, I often need help from friends or family and if I have to pay someone, so be it.
Otherwise I agree with the sentiments expressed.

So true .

Similar to being a single parent really.

Sincere apologies. My reply was addressed to McCavity and I had meant to quote.

I get the point all right. A widow for many years wondering how I would cope with bringing up my DD alone.
Dealing with everything that comes along mostly alone.
I have built resilience bit by bit and yes I wish I didn't have to.
So yes rosieandhermaw I do get the point. I've been through everything in that little poem.

Not sure you get the point

It's how I feel.

If only more women believed in themselves.

How very true,

Poignant.
