the first year
Early in May 2010 my wife of over 30 years died. It was after steadily declining health in hospital from the previous January. Too late they diagnosed cancer and she died a few days later.
We did everything together. I still miss her, especially the cuddles. The first year was difficult, but I was helped by friends in this village. Knowing She would not want me misersble, I started my new life, including 'coming out' as a nudist. One big step was my first holiday on my own. It was also my first holiday abroad for many years and my first nude holiday. I can't tell you how aprehensive I was. The warm welcome I got overcame that and I made new friends.
We can never replace the lost relationship. We can cherrish the memories and start life again.
