You do it because you are human... and alive... and you were loved and loved being loved. I do it too. I love what Larry wrote... hahahaha  he is right.. the men have aged too. ((hugs))  Hang in there.. if it's meant to be it will happen. When you are ready for it.  :)

Don't forget Emy that your potential partners have.....ahem....matured as well.  I was looking for pictures of my wife to give a short retrospective of her life.  While doing so some friends brought over their photos of us.  I always knew that she was beautiful.  I was kinda shocked to see that I wasn't half bad either a quarter century (and 50 lbs) ago.  I'd literally forgotten what I looked like back then.

Let's hope that we are all a little more generous in our perceptions.

My Pastor told me this week that maybe I should find someone to spend time with since I am so lonely.  I find other men to be repulsive. Only my sweetie will do for me. I can't imagine anyone being as nice to me as he was. I think I will pass on that suggestion for now.

Emy,

if you're thinking about it, you probably can love again. That's where you start. I too miss being a couple, you didn't have to do anything, just being together was enough. Not sure if that'll ever happen again, but I try not to stress about it, If it does it does. As Marsha said, anything is possible, don't count it out. Wish there was an easy answer to this, but we all have to make our own way again. I'm moving slowly, taking my time. Don't beat yourself up over this, it'll happen when it is meant to happen.

OMG did you read my mind tonight or what!!!

Awww Emy think we all wonder if we will find someone else and will they accept us. I am a lot older (trust me) than when I met my husband. Dating scares the heck out of me! Not sure I can do that. Seems odd to think I could have another 20 to 30 years alone. Something all of us have to face and answer. Think it just proves we're alive. Someone here had made the comment "if God sent our sole mate for who we were then God can send our sole mate for who we have become." Anything is possible....and ye,s if the new person is worth it they will love you for who you are.

My mind goes there, too, Emy, just about the same exact trail, even.  I guess we can't help but wonder, especially having finally found the true joy of true love....in our case, a short time to experience it...which impacts my feelings about finding love again....as in, wow, only two years like that?  And yet, Billie Bowden, well, just one impossible act to follow.  Just impossible.  And to have felt the love so COMpletely...not sure I could ever go again, with less...thanks for expressing something so personal and vulnerable.  Ow.  Guess I'm not alone, in being unsure if I can handle alone, for the duration.  Darn, love was soooooo sweet ...
