sarcy24 agony auntHi there

I am really sorry that this has happened. It takes a long long time to get over someone who has died and to tink about meeting someone new. Meeting new people is not too hard. Normally the best place is in a workplace so if you are not working and feel like it try a part time job if not evening classes are excellent. Silly places like supermarkets are also good. I have also met some people through charity work. Try delving into the online dating sites if you just want to dip your toe in the water and see what's out there. All the best

You have possibly not totally been able to indulge in hobbies and interests that are just for you - and these can be wonderful ways of meeting new people (of both sexes) and making new friends. I am 35 and have really enjoyed a style of dancing called Ceroc. Its upbeat (swing / jazz) but there are different styles. Not sure if this exists near you but it is a safe, polite and very enjoyable way of meeting the opposite sex and people of all ages attend - in fact I would say 40+ years average. Dancing is also great for your esteem and overall mood. It is hard to just magic happiness again but the first thing is to fill your diary as much as you can - try new things and visit new places. You could be more daring and take a longer trip? Depends on your budget. The important thing is to be kind to yourself and keep busy - this way you will gradually feel life has more opportunities for you. I wish you future happiness.

If you really loved your husband, I think you only need a friend, as you will always compare. But it is your choice. I think,it must be hard. Good luck,
