Learning to Heal
When you lose someone so dear, life can feel so empty. It is important to fill that void and one
way to do that is to look at your local college and take a course on a subject which you are interested in. I know the last thing you want to do is socialise but it is in the company of others that you find strength to face the future.
Learning something new is great at giving you a new beginning, as well as that you meet many new people which is a great non threatening way of re-entering the social world. Choose a hobby, or something that you have always wanted to learn about….it is a wonderful way of moving froward in a positive way.

I guess, it’s a good idea to take a class, etc…but as far as socializing I seem to only feel ’safe’ and ‘comfortable’ with people who I’ve known for many many years and who knew and loved my husband, too.

Everyone finds there own way to deal with loss, and I am glad that you have many friends. I was thinking about the people who may not have friends near or even close family about.
I love your words safe and comfortable, that is what is key.
