Starting to feel like me again :)

Can so relate to your words. Not sure if I'm getting clear or not just having a hard time with friends that are retiring and moving. There's Noone left to hang out with. Developing new friends is hard at this age.

You’re probably still in mourning. Do you have any hobbies you can talk about? Maybe talking about what you’re familiar with can help you connect.

I meant connecting to the site on my laptop. Lol, sorry for the confusion.

I'm pretty good with this stuff but it's not responding to anything. I hate using my phone for this.

Hollydolly, So I took your suggestions, clearing cookies and dealing with the browser and blocking ads. Low & behold it worked. I'm on my laptop and on the site thank you!!! thank you!! It was so hard on my phone to be on the site.

@Cin, my heart goes out to you. I would especially hurt during those dinnertime hours too, when he would come home from work.( My husband didn't die; he left me for another years ago. )

I wish I could say something more to help you, but you will feel better eventually.
Take good care of yourself. 🌹

Thank you. I'm really trying, I know I will eventually come back around. I feel like I'm around now, but no one else is. That's the problem. Need to find other outlets. I'm so good for everyone else on my life but me. :)

I wasn't getting out much during covid and even more recently.

So I made a point of going to the bookstore. They have a cafe where you can just sit for however long you wish. I enjoy people watching more than anything.

I was at a pizza place waiting for my food and the woman standing and waiting as well was dancing to the music over the PA. So we exchanged some comments about the music.

Just getting out and feeling a part of the scene is helpful!

I also find that posting on the forum here gets you used to just opening up to people.

(And the bonus is that you don't have to type.) 😀

If I could only fill those hours between 5 and 8 I would be a bit better. The dinner hours are so hard.

make a specific rule that for the next while you will come onto the forum between those hours, and before you know it, you'll get to a day where you realise you haven't thought of him for about an hour... ..it will happen, you'll see...

Your love for him is all consuming now with nothing to fill the empty space, but slowly but surely you'll fill those spaces, and your thoughts will be of him in your quiet moments..
