Most Useful Things I've Learned

 

Several things really.

My wife of nearly forty years died in December and it’s been tough. What has brought me through it has been all of my widowed friends. Bereavement is ignored by the media, but the compassion of widows and widowers has been superb. Sometimes, you are at a low ebb, but there will be one on-line, who will cheer you up, with a dose of dark and black humour.

And should I say downright and very overt flirting.

I’ve also learned that you don’t do all those things that make your life easier in case one of you dies. Take photos, plan your partner’s future, tell friends of that, teach them to cook, make sure you keep your finances documented. Etc. etc.
