So sorry for your loss. It's tough I know. When my husband passed away I felt quite isolated as I had spent nearly 6 years caring for him which took up best part of my time. I was left with a feeling of complete emptiness. I was advised to seek counselling, which I did, and this helped me considerably. I found I had a need to talk about my man and my feelings but I didn't want to burden my friends with my woes. I joined an adult education class taking up art again, as I had always enjoyed painting. Doing something creative seems to concentrate the mind. Also gardening is good and there may be a gardening society near you. Sydenham Garden in Wynell Road, Forest Hill, welcomes volunteers. They have a website if you want to know more. I don't know where you're based but if you have a car it would be no problem to get to. I think there is a tennis club there too if you're of a more sporty nature. Sports clubs are always good to join even if you're only a social member. You can possibly help out with events and meet new people that way. I do hope you're able to find something that helps you to overcome your grief but it will take time.

I think that comment about joining a book group was aimed at Natty

    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
    • Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.
    • I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.
    • yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street
