A lovely Lady who re-invented herself

A family member was married to a controlling man who decided she could not see family and friends without him being present, could not wear make up or nail varnish and chose clothes for her to wear. When her Husband died she started to see family and friends, went on holidays abroad, had her hair highlighted, had manicures and pedicures and delighted in choosing what she wished to wear. She is a totally changed woman enjoying life to the full. I have the greatest admiration for her. Do you know of anyone who did something similar?

I met an awful lot of care home residents whose lives had been much the same.
It often meant they had nobody to buy their toiletries, or a new vest, let alone a treat.
