Retirement is great but it can get lonely

[Nana D]

Hi everyone, I’m new here and would like to be part of this community. I’m a 77 year old female who was widowed about 18 months ago. It’s been a rough road. I have also lost my 2 best friends. Luckily I have children and 4 grandsons nearby, but they lead very busy lives like I did when they were young. Well that’s my story. Look forward to joining discushions.

Hi, nanaD. Welcome to the forum. I also lost my DH very recently. There are so many things to learn about life being so different now. My 3 grown kids are helpful but they are grieving as well. Look forward to reading your posts. Take care!

I think as much as the kids grieve, it’s not as painful as what we feel. No one can understand unless you go through it. Keep in touch

I lost my wife of 40 years 7 years ago now and without my working son here at home things would be very tough but as others have said there are a number of folks here in the same boat.
It is indeed a very friendly forum!

I understand about the children. They want to help but they have busy lives.
It makes me think about my parents and in-laws and wish I knew then what I know now.
