Hi,
I lost my husband almost a year ago to cancer....It was a long battle, 19 yrs of the nearly 26 we were married. I'm just 52. and it's incredibly lonely. I miss him a lot, even though the last few years were a lot of resting. I'm so saddened by the world today, how people can scam those that grieve. I'm ashamed to admit I was scammed. But I am genuine and trusting. It will not happen again, however. I'm also wondering about anyone else's luck with dating. We moved a few years before my husband died, back to my hometown, where i have my side of the family, but since his death, i have been very disappointed. i might mention my brother also died somewhat unexpectedly about 6 months before my husband. and it's strange how death can divide families. Often times, i just want to say screw it and just leave and go back to where my kids were raised, but then i think that location won't really make me feel happy, it has to come from within. I'm just not sure when or if that will happen.
Hi Karyn
I fear the scammer too. My late hubby sorted all the building works etc and now I can feel overwhelmed with it.
My hubby had cancer for 11 years and despite the huge amount of operations and chemo, he was okish until the last 18 months when he spent most of his time resting too. I am 52 as well, with a 17 year old son and 15 year old daughter. In some ways I became used to doing all the stuff for our 2 children long before he passed away and I grieved for the future we didnt have too. The flip side was the children had 2 parents at home for 6 years and their daddy got to watch them both get to senior school.
I hope you manage to find some peace soon
Regards Danielle
