I overcome my grief by living my live as usual - minus my husband, of course. Do you support me in this?

Giving you an example: Yesterday my resort neighbors picked me up with their golf cart and transported me to a new and unknown world to me - having fun at the weekly "Tequila Tuesday Party" in our resort without my husband. My Social Life was non-existant for quite some years recently - I did not even know that event existed. I intend, not to cut my laughter in live short in the future.

    Absolutely.

    Keep going forward.

    Your husband would never have wanted you to die before you actually were dead.

  • Thank you, Tom, for answering so short as well as being so clear in your answer! I showed my camperfriends, how a couple of Margaritas has no impact on an experienced German "Girl", when it comes to have fun. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at January 16, 2020 11:48 AM MST

    That's what I was going for.

    He and I both approve wholeheartedly---but the journey forward is definitely in your own way and in your own time and with whatever rest stops you choose along the way.

  • It's always in your best interest to live your life in a way that makes you happy.  That's what your husband would have wanted for sure!

    Of course we support you on this. I hope I am as strong as you if the same fate afflicts me. Bring on the Margs. Pat would approve.

    The format of this site does not really lend itself to conversing back and forth over the long term.  You posted this question on Jan 17, stayed active on this thread for a few days, and then posted an update on your situation that did not pose a question, although the post itself was wonderful news.

    It's nice to know you are doing well, but I can't think of anything to say beyond "I'm happy to hear you are doing so well"---and I am happy that you are.

    But I am tend to write short, terse answers to questions and am not particularly gifted in conversation.

  • I deleted my long update post and the short one after that. I write this for others to know. It is not your fault, tom jackson. I learned my lesson.

    Well, it sounds like you are on the right path.  Best of luck as you proceed.

    Of course.  You need to live until you die.
