Happy, interesting that you would bring those thoughts up tonight. I was thinking the same thing, in my situation, 30 yrs married, adult children, now what? Hopes and dreams gone in a flash. But something happened, I had lunch with a young woman, single and living life to the fullest. She is 26 and taught me that we don't need others to help us be happy, only ourselves. I feel fortunate that I have my children and can live my life the way I choose. New dreams are being created and I think everything will be fine. I think you just need time and you will have a change of thoughts. I hope you will.
