). You've such a lot on your plate at the moment. Moving is a big deal, no matter how much you think you want to. Added to that your loss, then it's no wonder you're feeling on your own. Things change. We turn corners. We don't know what's waiting for us. It's a daunting, but exciting time in your life and who knows, it could be just what you need. I really hope so.

Re: Lonliness
Being on my own is a bit of a novelty at the moment, youngest just left home for uni, I'm never at a loss to fill my time with hobbies etc. but, I do miss having someone to go places with. Even though I have daughters who will go to garden centres, shopping etc. there's nothing like having a companion of your own age to socialize with. Being in a group is good but just not the same as having someone special. I think it's just as hard for women as men to be alone, men may miss being looked after, but women can miss looking after someone (now & then) too! Although saying that, I wouldn't want to have to share every waking moment, or have to ask if it's ok to go somewhere...

Re: Lonliness
I think it's companionship that you are missing a bit Twizard, it does make a big difference, as you say someone to just share everyday life with.Regarding the dog in my post about my Mum's cousin she is going to be taken in by another family member, she is about 5 or 6 so a good few years left and hopefully she will settle ok.

Re: Lonliness
I love living alone, I rarely see any members of my family but I do have a couple of close friends who I go on holiday with and we visit one another, it's just the right balance of contact for me as I really do enjoy my own company most of the time, the rest of the time I get on my own nerves!
