I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
It's natural to feel this pain, hun.
Maybe, though, you feel this slight [instinctual maybe] connection to your half siblings because they are a part of you, even if you don't know them. You don't hold what your biological father did against them and feel a connection to these people with whom you share genetics. Even if you didn't know them well, there was always that potential for a real relationship with them. And no matter how you feel about them, you wouldn't wish cancer and death on someone.
I am sorry for your loss.
I am here if would like to talk
It hurts you because you are a loving caring person who reached out to that side of your bio family. You tried your very best and you made a connection in your heart.
Suy has a good idea...send flowers or a card...grieve b/c you have every right to feel sad.
(((((((((tight hugs)))))))))

please if there is a CL here would you please close this post.my heart is hurting enough. and any of you who don't believe me i will post his obituary in my journal.
I rated you as moving too honey
I loved SuyB's idea of flowers on the grave.
It is understandable to feel this grief. You know there is a connection with this person even if you have never met.
