I'm 42 and my husband of 26 years left me 2 weeks ago. Saturdays and Sundays were always very special days for us...even the Sunday before he left on Monday we went to breakfast and to the zoo. I've been married since I was 16 and it was the center of my life.
I am soooooooo lost and so lonely. My family are far away and I haven't many friends in our new town. Suggestions?

I'm so sorry for your pain. I have been there too; married 25 years; three children; my husband just up and left us a year and a half ago. I thought I would die! Well let me tell you, I am alive and kicking and so too will you be this time next year and the year after. Being married at 16 though for you, I can understand how you might be in shock; marriage is all you know; you don't know how to be alone. Do you have kids? Focusing on them really helps. Don't lean on them though, that is too much; they too are probably going through a tough time and need your support more than ever. I don't have family anywhere near me either. I do have a very good friend though and I do talk to my family by phone every weekend.If you have kids it is easy to meet new people (other parents). If you don't have kids, take a course or volunteer (you can find those things on the internet for your area). Best of luck Lisa. The first while is rough, but you will get through this and be better for it. You will come to enjoy your freedom; not fear it.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
