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

    • He’s on the tree trunk outside the groundspeople’s yard - near the car park
    • I agree that I enjoy seeing the variety of wild flowers growing naturally in the streets and would much prefer that they were not destroyed. (The South London Botanical Institute actually conduct wildflower identification walks on street wild flowers.) However, as the council consider themselves to be responsible for removing these plants, it's better that they now dig them out rather than spraying them with toxic herbicide, as they used to do - a step in the right direction.
    • It's interesting how local businesses and the people that own / work in them are not considered part of the "community". The dictionary says "a group of people living in the same place" as the principal definition. Why are we forced to accept a secondary definition where those who don't live in social housing, the vast majority of people in East Dulwich, are told to shut up?
