I am here for Friends

About Me

Once I had it all: a perfect marriage, a great career, good health, lots of friends and family - life filled to the brim ... Then I almost lost everything: abandonned by my husband, severly ill, not able to work, forgotten by my friends, several close family members lost to the grim reaper ... 6 years ago I had a hard time trying to keep myself from falling apart. Today I'm coping with CFS, found a new place in the world from the outside looking in, life in the slow lane, but rediscovering joy.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

friends and soulmates

Flee or freeze

30 minutes ago my mum has gone into hospital. Tomorrow she'll have an operation: a hip replacement. We've known it for about 3 weeks, so she didn't have to wait long. But 3 weeks are long enough to ...
