[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandfather may have lived alone but he was most definitely not lonely or bored. He worked full-time until the last weeks of his life. He had many friends through his job. He had a girlfriend who he enjoyed going out for meals with. They spoke on the phone every night. He had many loving nieces and nephews in the same city who he visited with on a very regular basis. His kids and grandkids came to visit or he traveled to visit them fairly regularly. He kept busy and he was in no way housebound as he took the subway around the city and walked miles. My aunt was widowed not long ago after a very long and wonderful marriage. Before my uncle died they kept busy with their family, travel and social clubs. About a year after being widowed she met a man who is now her travel companion. She is physically very active. She is aging well! [/quote] Thank you for sharing these positive stories! [/quote]
