Journal as follows: This was me up until nearly 4 months ago. I was married to a wonderful man for 46 years, who gave me the world. Unfortunately totally out of the blue I lost him. We were fortunate enough to have retired some time ago. We had so much in common, we loved to do the same things. We owned our own business and worked together very successfully, When home in later years apart from the usual day to day chores, our hobby was Computers, slightly different interest but we both had our own offices so all good. We also loved to travel which we were fortunate enough to do over the years, and really had no plans of changing, till suddenly all changed in the space of less then one day.

Now it is only me trying to adjust to life with out the Love of my Life. I have a beautiful home, and of course the normal day to day chores, I love taking photos and playing around with them on the computer, which I really enjoy and love learning new things. I also have a collection of Teddy Bears which keep me involved, something I have always loved since I was a little girl. Fortunately my Husband became very attached to them also, not that I guess he had much choice in the matter. Hopefully I will still continue to travel. Just recently on the advice of friends I traveled to the US a place my Husband and I did travel to quite frequently. It was a complete new learning experience but we were well known and very welcomed so that was a big bonus. I am not going to say it was easy, after traveling with someone for all that time, it was very different, but I guess to my credit I managed it very well. To coin a phrase 2 of my friends have said quite frequently of a late, “You are Stronger then you Think”. Maybe that is true I don’t know, what the future holds nobody knows, but what I do know for sure he will always be by my side, silently giving me his Strength Love and Encouragement when I need it the most.
