I'm 63 and my husband died three years ago.Prior to meeting him,I had five serious relationships and,yes,slept with them all for quite lengthy periods (they were all at different times!).I've found out today that the last of them died in March.Talk about being depressed!I've been on my own since my husband died,my children live abroad and due to cancer,have been unable to get out much.On the mend now but hearing the news has really thrown me.All I seem to do is look back never forward.Any help or ideas to get me into a more positive frame of mind gratefully received.

Two of mine died within a few days of each other in February and it really threw me into a bad place . Guilt and regrets at not being a very good friend etc , their deaths suddenly made me realise that they had been important to me but I'd never told them that . I wrote a letter to one after his death and said it all . It helped enormously .

Macbrather, 63 is still young, these days. You always have choices, so please don't choose sadness and loneliness.

Get yourself out there asap (force yourself) and join clubs, groups and classes. Make new friends - and maybe find a new lover - never say never - and it's never 'too late'.
