For a number of years I took care of my husband of 42+ years, worked a full time job and managed our home, our dog and a second home. After my husband passed away in January 2017, I continued to work which helped me get through the grief of losing him sooner than expected. When I retired in December 2017, it felt weird without the structure of tasks in my life and I just floundered. My brother came to live with me in July 2018 which has helped a great deal. He pushes me to meet up with my friends (3 of 4 of them are still working). I now meet one of the girls every month for lunch and the whole group gets together to see a movie when one is showing that looks good. My other brother calls frequently to check up on everything and makes sure that we keep laughing. I pray every day to thank God for the gift of a great family and wonderful friends.
