Hi all , I'm brand new at this. Frankly i don't know what I've found but I do feel it has potential for me. I'm a recent widow, senior citizen, ancient by some standards but I don't feel it in my brain though my body says so often. I've tried the grief site and frankly I can't handle it. I'm trying to get past that stage, I am basically a positive person who needs to feel some optimism in my life so I am determined to close the book on this horrible year and let 2007 show me the direction I should take. If I am still here then there must be a reason once I decide what that reason may be. I need to hear that life can be worth living after you lose a life partner of 51 years. I have the benefit of having lived this long and surely there must be something I can do to help those that need the help I can give probably in the area of tutoring. The more I communicate with people and this is the preferable way as my hearing is not the greatest. the more I can clarify my thinking and make some decisions as to what I can do that will benefit a few people.
