Purplepatch - I hadn't read that but it is four months since DH passed away and having "got through" Christmas and New Year, his birthday (17 Jan) I seem to be at a new low. I have family around and friends who visit and I meet for coffee. Went to the cinema for the first time on Tues evening and there is always something to occupy me but seem to be struggling when on my own. It would have been our Golden Wedding on 19 Apr and DD and DS-in-law and myself are heading for Spain where we spent many happy times. We are travelling back on 19th as I don't want to be "anywhere" so think that being on the move will help. I know it is early days and I get a lot of comfort from keeping up with Gransnet.
