Me too. And the pre helicopter parenting era. Although our parents were particularly blase about our whereabouts and safety! I lost my partner on Boxing Day 2021. It's a bitch. I am now in the 2nd year which I have been told is the worst. Keeping busy!! Art keeps me sane.
I am sorry for your loss. I lost my husband in March 2022 and so I am approaching the end of the first year. I think I have been in survival mode for most of the year. I have also heard that the second year is bad and I am not looking forward to it.
I think it finally hits home that we are alone. The first year, although pretty rough, we are running on adrenaline. I am ok most of the time but those anniversaries are harder than they were last year. My first birthday ever alone was a shocker. At least until the evening and dinner with my single group. It sure is a tough gig!
Hi - I grew up on the Central Coast with a lot of time spent at Umina and Terrigal beaches. So glad that my childhood was in the pre-mobile phone era

Very interesting, Tracey. It's worth reading and nice to know that you had a wonderful childhood. 💕
Thanks Kate
