I miss love today

Thank you. I had therapy years ago when I was in my thirties and confused about direction. It was helpful. I took some classes, ate better and got more exercise. That never hurts. I will certainly consider consulting a professional. I have two doctor's appointments this week. Then I will do some research. I really appreciate your comments and I wish you the best. Keep me posted.

So glad to hear it. I will certainly do it. Take care.
 

Leave your door open to possibilities. One can never know when a new opportunity might arise, or from where.

We've all made decisions at forks in the road. Looking back ours may have been good or may have been bad. But not seeing a new fork by trundling along with our eyes down might be the saddest thing.

Life can flip from bleak to rewarding more quickly than we imagine.

Right on que!
 
It's unnerving how quickly things can also flip back from rewarding to bleak. Sheesh.

At my age I should have known this. I am done, back to the conclusion that I came to 15 years ago and should have stuck with.

I am going back to my ancestry work. Most of it is done, but there's always more to find.

I never had any work invested in my family tree. My ancestors are simply of no interest for me. The oldest members of my ancestors I know are my grandparents. To 'know' in this case doesn't mean that I've met them, since all of them were already dead except my maternal grandmother.

I don’t know why I’m sharing this. I’m feeling blue this morning. It’s not the weather. The air is crisp but the sun is shining. I’m just feeling very alone. I miss love. I love my boys, my daughter in law, and my granddaughter. But, it’s not the same.

I feel like I’m back as an awkward introvert teenage boy wishing I had someone’s hand to hold who would give me affection and accept mine. Then I found someone and we spent our life together. Now she’s gone. It’s been a little over a year, but it still hurts.

She was my rock. We had some spats, but she was always there for me. We took care of each other. I worried about her and she worried about me. I watched her health deteriorate and worried more.

I know I’m very lucky. I have a comfortable home and enough money to pay the bills. And my sons give me lots of support. And, I know that I am far from being alone. Millions of people have been through this. Maybe you have. But, damn I miss her.

I understand exactly how you feel Don. I hope you can find something to ease those feelings. Yes, I'm one who has been through it. And that's just it...we do get through it. Some days are good, some not so much. You are blessed to have great sons. Some people have no one at all.
 
Hope you are now feeling much better. Count your blessings and stay cheerful.
