[7/12/26] Dear Gail @GailF119427 , so glad you stopped by to see us!!!

Yes dear friend, EVERY day is a "challenge" for me. Some days there are NO "tears" but the "heartache" is there.

NO pressure to share, but feel free to tell us more.

I have had "several" losses as I age. Losing my other half has been the "worst". Never planned on losing him to COVID.

Luv,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)

It's going on 3 years not a day goes by that I don't cry. It would be nice to talk to others that are experiencing the same.

Hi Nicole! So nice to see you, and hello to all on the forum. I'm so sorry for all your losses and read your postings with much 💕 and respect. So glad you are all here in the right place at this stage of your journey. It's so helpful to hear what you have to say. I'm grateful to be able to drop by. It's so convenient too for those with aging issues not having to navigate transportation etc.

[7/19/26] Dear @edjojr1 , I am SO SORRY for your "loss" dear friend!!!

Yes, those "dreams" still take ALOT out of me. In fact, had a "sleepless" night last night.

The "experts" say that DREAMS are the way OUR LUV ONES are "communicating" with us.

Maybe he is letting you know he is okay & ALWAYS with you.

I still have my "good & bad" days after losing the luv of my life to COVID. Thought we would GROW OLD "together".

Some of us have found Counseling helps us to find a "balance" as WE TRY to "figure" out OUR LIFE.

Do you have any family or friends nearby?

My "only" child is in another state (Florida). I am in Virginia. Plan to move back to Florida when I can NO longer drive or live alone. I am 68 this September.

IF you are a Senior, and IF there are any Senior Centers near you - maybe try visiting them. I thought about "trying" mine here AGAIN, but gas is just TOO HIGH. A few years ago I had "visited" one, but was NOT "ready" to deal with the "personalities". Yes, that is life, we will encounter "challenging" people in our lives.

Counseling for a FEW MONTHS helped me & Medicare paid = NEVER received a bill. Just make sure your Primary Care Physician REFERS you. No need to end up with ANOTHER bill to pay in the midst of doing life on YOUR OWN. She let me cry. Get angry. She "helped" me to "release" ALL the emotions I had stored up. Yes, my daughter was & is there for me. But she was ALSO dealing with the "unexpected" loss of her dad.

In ending, I took in a cat I named "Mister" who is fiercely INDEPENDENT, but luving in spite of his humans moving WITHOUT him. 😤 But their loss. My gain. Yes, I MISS him & my daughter EVERY DAY, but my boy was mean't to enter my life. He needed a home. I needed a roommate./lol.

I am SO GLAD you stopped by & hope you will AGAIN.

Luv,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)

My husband passed away Memorial Day. I had a dream last night that he was back and we were working to reinstate his Social Security and pension.  So vivid.  Having a very tough time today.

[7/21/26] Dear Veronica @veronicaalmarzooq , I am SO SORRY for your loss dear friend!!!

Do you have any family or friends there with you?

I lost mine to COVID & with turning 68 this September, I still am very sad.

And my loneliness has to do with "missing" him IN SPITE of being in a crowd.

And add living in another state from my "only" child.

Take heart & know with TIME, you will have GOOD days.

Days when you "finally" want to JOIN life AGAIN.

Individual counseling for a few months helped me. Medicare does cover it, NEVER received a bill. Just make sure your Primary Physician REFERS you.

I spent about ONE YEAR being a "hermit". Still kind of, but SLOWLY finding an "interest" in things I USE TO DO.

I don't know about you, but I WILL ALWAYS MISS him. I know he is watching over me & luvs me. One day I will see him AGAIN.

SO GLAD you stopped by to see us.

We are ALWAYS here for you!!!

Luv,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)

Hubby passed Three months ago. Pain and longing is getting harder and harder to  bear. Loneliness and insecurities of living alone  make it even harder. Need comforting words and people who understand.
