Different life

My name is Gina and I’m 66years old and a widow. My darling husband passed suddenly just over 2 years ago. I’ve never come up against so much grief and sadness. He was my everything.
I have 3 children, 3 stepchildren , 4 of my own grandchildren and 7 step grandchildren. They have been my rock since I lost hubby.
I have had breast cancer twice and recovered (now to wait that 5 years for the all clear again)
I am now retired and living alone on the Gold Coast trying to start my life again. So hard but I get up every day and get through.
I love to read a lot.
I miss little things like going to dinner and having long conversations over a glass of wine and just having someone around when I can’t figure out how to get the power back on 🤪
I’m generally a calm, , nice, whatever type of person and for some reason people like me 😂
I hate racism and bigotry. Sometimes it’s hard to hold my tongue, but I do 😊. I don’t want to upset people 😊
Is this too much info?? Probably 😊
Have a good day people 😊💐 and stay safe during all this flooding ☔️ up here

Hello again @Ginasw ! We greatly appreciate you taking the time to introduce yourself. Definitely not too much info for as long as you're completely comfortable with the stories you share.

We technically haven't met (yet?) but you seem like such a wonderful, and strong person. I'm very sorry to hear about your husband's passing. I don't think there's anything that anyone could say to mend such a tremendous loss. I wish I could extend a real, warm hug.

Congratulations on recovering from cancer!! That's AMAZING. I lost my grandfather to cancer just a couple of years ago so this story really hits close to home. I wish cancer never existed and I'm glad you're still fighting. Please keep holding on!

I genuinely hope the SDC can become a safe place for you to turn to every now and then. The members here are incredibly nice and we try to foster a good environment for everyone. ☺️

Wishing you the best things in life, Gina! If you need anyone, the SDC team is here for you. ❤️
