(28,151 posts)33. I'm where you're at.
Though not a widow like you. My deepest sympathies!
I am divorced, was always putting family before career and whatever so here I am. Trying to help my youngest through school, working full time at a grueling job and not enough to pay the bills or buy groceries.
Keep going my friend. It is what we all must do and it will get better. Somehow, some way, it will get better but only if you keep going.
Hugs and encouragement,
Julie

I wish for that too. I'm 54 and have maybe 4 or 5 years where I wasn't worried all the time.

I do not miss it one bit. I can no longer allow someone to abuse me because they 'love' me.
