Five Years Gone
Well, I just passed the five year anniversary of Gene's death. Although it has gotten much easier to deal with the loss, I still miss him everyday and he will always hold a special place in my heart.
Have been feeling very lonely lately. Have tried online dating sites, but the responses I receive have not been from anyone I would choose to date. Too young, too old, not looking for commitment. I believe I am ready to settle down again with one man, but most men looking don't seem to know the meaning of monogamy. What's a girl to do!
Maybe I need to join the group for people who are lonely like me and get maybe pick up a new perspective on things. I still hate going home to an empty house and there is always so much to do there. I don't sleep well, so am also suffering from insomnia which doesn't help me much. Oh, to get a full 8 hours of sleep would be heavenly right about now. I sleep in spurts--3 hours here, two hours there. The most sleep I get is usually about five hours a night. I remember when I could sleep til noon on the weekends!
Well, will just have to keep looking for the bright side to all of this. Am trying to stay positive, but some days it is hard -- like today.

It\'s been a few months over 6 years for me and I still feel all of those same things you\'re feeling. It\'s all normal. I have been on the dating sites for about 4 years now and had even gotten into a 2 year relationship with someone who I thought was perfect at first but as time went by I realized it was not what I originally thought it was and ended it. I have met a lot of guys but none of them are the \"fit\" I\'m looking for .I\'m not looking to remarry for a variety of reasons but I wouldn\'t mind being in a relationship with someone special. I \"settled\" once (in that 2 year relationship) and I won\'t do that again. Have you checked out Hopeful Hearts here on DS? If not, you might find some helpful information there. http://www.dailystrength.org/groups/hopeful-hearts-love-after-loss
You\'re not alone,
