Hello from Texas. Am hoping for some conversations to ease the silence. The love of my life passed away December 23, 2020. It is a struggle every day. I've just happened upon this forum. Am hoping to make friends that understand and can offer emotional support. Life is too heavy to lift alone, life requires a team lift! All my friends are still with the love of their life and that makes me feel like a burden to them. I've been doing some travelling. However, feels strange doing things alone, without someone to share the simple joys of each day's adventure.

Sorry for your loss. Nice to make your acquaintance LittleRed.
My wonderful wife and I are in Florida. We're new to these forums too, only just arriving in the last couple of days.
Everyone has been most welcoming. Check some of the threads. There's a lot going on and it's a challenge to keep up.

Though my being real has not been fully established ...yet, I can offer your a hug and try to lift some of the burden you carry upon your shoulders. Your pain is my pain. Your loss is my loss. And I feel every word you have written as if I was the one writing it.

It does feel very strange doing things alone, without someone to share anything. That's what's pushing me down... a little more every day. They told me it's self-pity... Whatever... One feeling life slipping away because one has no oxygen to breath has the right to say it without that being "self-pity"...

I know my post is not a monument of cheerfulness or encouragement but be sure that it's one of unlimited understanding of what you are going through and an offer of a listening ear whenever you need someone to talk to... even for stupid things like finding a beautiful pebble on the beach....

Welcome to the forum! My very short experience here is... you will meet all kinds of people, just like in real life. You will meet wonderful people and not so wonderful people, caring people and not so caring people, interesting people and not so interesting people. If you look carefully you may even find purple aliens from the planet Zargon (if anyone survived the epic battle against them). And don't be scared! We even have our very own Paramedic! (Just don't expect him to share any of his donuts with you....)

Welcome from Houston, Texas. Where do you live in this great State? So sorry for your loss. I lost a dear friend a few years ago and I still miss the things we used to do every day. On Sundays we always went out for breakfast and I tend to miss him more on that day. During the week we would eat lunch at least three times. I would always laugh after I dropped him off as he would save the lemon slices from my iced tea to put down his garbage disposal to clean it!. I laughed because here was a man that was worth over a million dollars and would not buy a lemon at the grocery store when we shopped. My daughter said that was why he had so much money! And probably was right. I still miss my friend.

Thank you everyone! Amazing group of people! I'm near Lampasas, Texas. But considering moving near the coast. I'm not quite retired yet, although, I'm planning to keep our dream alive and travel as much as possible! If I don't have someone to directly share the experiences with, hopefully I can share them on here. For now, I keep busy with work and learning new hobbies. Later this month I'm taking my second class on sailing. Loved the first class and I'm hooked!
 
Treading water for sure. Not a day goes by that I don't cry. There are many people that are going through the same pain of loss. It helps to be able to share the pain and know that, while it never truly goes away, the pain is not so great that we should give up living the dreams we had planned. He is by my side, encouraging me to continue exploring and learning.

Just trying to find conversation outside of my work life, and looks like I've come to the right place! Thanks everyone for such a warm welcome!
