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.

It would be nice of along with the total minutes, each one of us posts her/his goal for the week and their daily progress towards it. The week's goal should be a small achievable one. Of course I know that our long-term goal (all of us)) is to live a healthy lifestyle and maintain great shape and health.

I'm not losing the 2 pounds I wanted to but it's OK. I know I'm not doing anything wrong so it might be just a matter of time. I'm enjoying being active and cooking alot. I hope everyone is doing great.
