It's been awhile...

Just thought those who may have been following my journey might be interested to know that I'm doing ok.

It's been a couple of months since I lost my mom...and I want to thank the Ageless community for all the support and the private messages. I'm just starting to get my life back in order and haven't visited the board since my mom died. I've obviously got a lot of catching up to do!

As far as my life goes....a few weeks ago, I was approached by a very nice man while I was picking up some groceries after work. We've gone out at least 2 or 3 times per week since we met and I'm quite smitten! It seems like he is too. He's not a YM (he's younger than me by less than a month - lol) but I really enjoy his company! The ultimate irony is that he works in the funeral/cemetary business and that our first official date was exactly 1 month after my mom's passing! Life is indeed strange.

Thanks again to the wonderful folks at Ageless! I'll continue to check in to see if anyone's situation could benefit from the insight I gained during my 5+ year relationship with my YM and the incredibly painful breakup! The strangest thing to me is that since my mom's death, I've rarely thought of my ex-ym at all.

Hello GoldDust! I'm afraid I am not familiear with your story, and I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. I can't imagine how incredibly painful that is. I am delighted to hear though that you have a new gentleman in your life now. You sound like you are on the road to better days. I wish you all the best in your new relationship and pray that although your mom will never be forgotten, your heart will get stronger and be able to smile at the memories. My heartfelt condolences.

Your passage about your breakup with your ym intrigued me. Perhaps you could look over my "Should I suck it up" thread and impart some wisdom? I would much appreciate it. The folks here have already been very supportive and helpful.

Have a wonderful weekend, GoldDust! Nice to have you back.

I understand the pain of losing your mom, I lost mine too, in April. I was fortunate to have the support of my ym then, and now. It is good that your life is moving forward. I also hope that things in your life continue to improve and that the support you have had is still there when you need it.

Gold,
I am so sorry about your mom, loss of a parent is a tough thing to go through for sure!
I would love to hear your story, if you would like to tell it.
I too, just ended my 5+ year marriage/relationship. I rant quite a bit about it....not sure if it is helping anyone but me or not though :eek:
Blessings, TD

Thanks for the update GD. I'm happy to hear that things are getting better day by day for you.

Wishes for increasing happiness! Life does have a strange way of working. :yes:

I'm a newbie and I'm sorry to hear about your mom.
