Any widow(er)s around here?
Anybody here on their own, keeping on truckin', after you lost your spouse and travel partner?
(Not asking for sympathy, please, just some of your reflections about getting back on the horse after you were widowed.
My wife was profoundly disabled and hospitalized from August 2018 til she passed this past March of 2019. I took a trip alone to Europe earlier this month which was a mixed bag. I enjoyed myself about 75% of the time, but at times felt like I was missing a part of me.
I've got a solo rv trip planned come October to the southwest and will stay out as long as I can stand it. I expect I'll get in the groove after a few weeks. A couple of friends are going to meet me for several days here and there, and I reckon I'll meet new folks.
Just curious about any experience and reflections you have about traveling alone after being partnered up for decades.
Best,
Dave
