Well Hello There!

I have recently made a new friend.  My neighbor that I've had for the last year and half (since we moved here) started come over the past couple of days and we sat and talked for hours at a time.  She told me about her childhood in the Philippines and of her marriage.  She said that her husband died 5 years ago next week, and she was explaining that her doctor told her she needs to move on because her continued grieving is killing her.  She told me they were married for 33 years.  How you just move on from the best part of your life?  But at the same time, time does heal all wounds, and life must go on right?  Saying that though, if my husband died I know I would be devastated.  I know that I would hurt for a long time.  I don't know, like her, if I would ever be able to "move on".  Although my Grandmother never took another "male friend", she did grieve for a few years and lived with my Aunt to help her grieve.  And now she lives in a senior apartment building (you know those 55+ neighborhoods, they live on their own and stuff).  This is the happiest she has been since my Grandfather died, she is surrounded by peers of her own age, and she is working there as well so she has something to do daily.  She is healthier than she has been in a long time too!  I want to tell my neighbor about this but I'm not sure how she will feel about it and if she will be offended.  But it couldn't hurt right?  You know one of those instances where you feel compelled to help as much as possible?  But now I have another reason to not want to move lol.  Anyway, Have a wonderful day!
