Warning - whiny, self-pitying post coming up!
Today is St. Valentine's Day, and maybe I'm even more tired than usual but I feel that the pain of loneliness will overcome me - it's actually a physical pain, in my chest, and as I have a heart condition anyway that's a bit concerning, I think.
I lost my husband 3-and-a-half years ago, and I miss him like crazy. I have no children (I'm infertile), and am in such fragile physical & mental health that I can't work, so I don't have the consolation of throwing myself into a career. I've not completely dismissed the idea of another relationship but finding someone seems well-nigh impossible under the current circumstances. I fear I face a lonely, isolated old age.
Sorry to be so depressing! I do have friends who care, and I really appreciate that.
I should probably go to bed - I'm knackered lol!
