So was 1 year Christmas Day my Stu passed away..feels like Day 1 everyday. Longer time goes by the loneliness gets worse. I've done things,  I laugh on the outside but inside I feel empty and bitter.  Bumped into someone last week said time to move on and my grieving is done..never.. People don't get it. Another year starts tomorrow but still feel shit and hate seeing other couples doing things together. Is this normal...

  • He was genuinely wonderful. We had a 12 year gap in ages. He was 72 and I was 60. I had hoped we would have longer. The 40 years we had still wasn’t enough. Greedy, I know. 

  • Similar to us Kate. Tony was 14 years older than me, at 75 to my 61. Despire that I always thought I would go first as he was so fit and healthy.

    I dont think its greedy, i hoped as you would that we would grow old together. I dont think of myself as old, neither did he. 

  • Yes, we had such fun together. Travel was something we both enjoyed. We managed Cuba, Madeira, Greece and Menorca in the past five years. It was wonderful. At least I have those precious memories. I am thinking about travelling to Malta for a week in April. Another new stage to adapt to. Kate. Xxx

  • And I though we had a huge age gap but not as big as some of you. Jay was 9 years older than me and we were together for 40 years just like you and your hubby Kate. Maybe we all had a thing for older menSlight smile

  • My beautiful Valen was 3 months older than me Smile 

    I utterly hate the knowledge that I am now older than him. 
    He will be forever a young at heart, mind and body 56 years young. I will be 58 this year. 
    As I say hateful. 

  • MrsVT,  I will be 58 in a couple of weeks, but that is two days before the 1 year mark.

    I was Sue's toy boy 7 years .
