New to board, old widowed and bored

@grahamg You are way ahead of me, I don't have a smart phone. They are so smart that I do not want to even try to figure one out.

My smart phone is about as dumb as I am, (I only use it for the "portable hotspot" facility, allowing me to use my laptop computer wherever I wish, and nothing more!).

Hi Everyone, New to the board. I have spent the day reading your board. Seems to be a lot of nice people navigating retirement and issues we face in our older years. I look forward to getting to know you. I am a retired widow after losing my husband after 31 one years and 3 weeks of marriage. I have one son, married and living his life. He lives about 30 minutes away. I am learning to navigate on my own. It is a challenge but feel I have done well so far. I am always looking for information and ideas to continue to be self sufficient on my own.

I'm sorry about your husband. Was this recent? But it sounds like you are doing well, and have a good attitude. I'm sure you will have no problem fitting in here.
 
This group probably saved my sanity at a time when my life was bad and a pandemic hit. I think, if you stick with it, you will find it very nurturing! My hints - Click the bell in the upper right corner to see who reacted to the same posts you did or responded to your posts; then click "what's new" to see if something trips your interest. If you have something specific you want - use the search option. You will have to scroll though to find posts from Senior Forums, but it does help. So, Welcome from Ohio!

Warm welcome to you. I also am BLESSED, and can relate to you. Many of us have been widowed here also. How long ago did you lose your beloved?
I lost mine in 2005 after being married as teenagers for 42 yrs. @bowmore is also a member here and we were married two years later.He is also a widower. I never dreamed I could be so happy again, and I never thought in my wildest dreams I would marry again.
I could have made it on my own so that's why I say that I'm truly blessed also. We love each other very much and life is sooo good again.
You have come to the right place to hang your hat here.
By the way, my smart phone is smarter than me and I hate the thing.

I lost my husband in 2010 after a five year cancer battle.
 
Welcome! I know what you're going thru. I'm a 3 time stroke survivor, handicapped and a widow. I lost my husband to dementia/COVID nearly 2 years ago. It's been hard learning to "navigate" when he did everything physical. I have the same social circle. I can no longer drive so sister-in-law helps me out.
