Hoping to re-engage with life a bit more in 2025

[Ronni]

I've been largely absent in my friendships, activities, hobbies etc. this past year. I’ve been very engaged with family, husband and kids and grands, but all other things have at best taken a backseat and at worst been non-existent.

Though it wasn’t intentional, I’ve discovered my true friends this past wretched, difficult, anguished year, the ones who’ve been steadfast, always there, asking nothing in return, just checking in and seeing how the kids and I are doing, offering unconditional support and love…..much like so many of you here have done!

My hope for 2025 is that I can rally some, to be more present and re-engage with my life a bit more. To step out of the fog of grief and loss and extend myself to others the way I used to be able to do.

I don’t know how successful I’ll be, but I’m hoping that the effort to do so will be its own reward.

I appreciate you all very much.

@Ronni
It will all come, in due time .. though it's good that you are putting out a concerted effort.
Be gentle with yourself

awww bless you Ronni.. I understand you, but you'll get it all together when the time is ready.... try not to force anything, you've been through such a lot in an incredibly short time.. so if you feel you can get back to being yourself again..great.. if not , then just let your body and mind, dictate the pace...

Take your time. Everyone grieves differently.

Like you I am re-evaluating my life going forward.

Fortunately I have my daughter living with me now.

She understands,

You've been through a lot over the past year & I wish you the best for the New Year.

Baby Steps Ronni, best to you. A friend told me 2025 will be the best year ever.
Tongue in cheek practical joker I know. Lol -- rest up after the 1st I tell myself.

You’re approaching 2025 with a positive attitude. Slow and steady wins the race.

BTW, how is Ron doing?

Thanks for asking @Jules. I just updated in the “Finally he’s home” thread so I won’t repeat it here. Suffice to say he’s doing well.
