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...
((gentle hugs))
You should try to get some sleep, or you'll be inviting a flare. Hope you have a good trip.
Don't forget a jacket..it may be cooler at night in SC than you are used to on the beautiful, warm gulf coast! *wink*
Don't forget your digital camera to take pics with, also an IPOD or something that plays music so that you can sleep. Have a safe trip, sistah and God speed to you and yours, and may HE watch over you as you travel to and from.
Try and sleep on the bus...an ipod or something similar is a great way to relax..pop in something you like to listen to, hide your purse and money! and have a snooze!
it will be alright! as long as you have the important things,ie; meds,clothes,toiletries,etc... you will be fine. The main thing is don't wear yourself into such a frazzle that you do have a flare and make your trip totally miserable!
Just remember if you do forget anything, there will most certainly be stores there that you can pick up what you need! I have never travleled without forgetting something, LOL and I thank God for the local Wal Marts LOL!
Take care of you Hon and God will take care of the rest(:
love and hugs,
Brat
Oh and Laurie, I love the remark about your behind following you, ROFL! I have the same exact problem!!
