Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thank you all for replying. I looked into an Alaska cruise but the flight times were crazy. I'm in NE Pa. and the least amount of hours was 14+ hrs and that was getting in at 1am. If I wanted to get in at a decent hour then it's more like 22-24+ hrs. PhotoDennis, I'm so sorry. I was trying to care for my mom who had Alz the same time my dh had cancer. You have to walk in the shoes of someone who takes/took care of someone who had/has Alz. to really understand. You'll have to let me know how your Alaska cruise went for you. cruisemom42, thank you for the tip on the Hal board, I'll be sure to check it out! Thank you all again!
  2. Thank you both for taking the time to reply and given me some things to think about
  3. Thank you both for replying. Rob, I give you credit for holding it together after hearing your wedding song. I highly doubt I would be that strong. NSnJW, that was so nice you were able to go with your son and grandchildren. You were able to take a step before taking the plunge. We never had any children. In a matter of 12 months I lost everyone, my dh, my mom, my sil, and my best friend, so that is why I would be going solo. I'm just trying to figure out how to know if I'm ready.
  4. This question is for those that lost their partner. A little back round ( trying to make it short). When I first met my (later on would be my husband) I ask him if he would like to go on a cruise together? He said yes, and I prayed he would love cruising as much as I did or I'd have to let him go. Lol Turned out he loved it as much as I did! Long story short, a few months later he asked me to marry him, and I said yes! We married and ever since we would cruise every three months. We loved it so much and were even planning on what cruises we would go on once we retired. Fast forward to 2019, my husband passed away. I can't even begin to explain my grief. I took 2 years off of work, I just couldn't function, He was my world. It's funny how something that I loved so much, is the hardest thing for me to do now. It's a stab to my heart when someone says they're going on a cruise. (I don't expect everyone to understand, but I hope someone does) I asked myself if I was ready to go on a cruise. I tried picturing myself on board and the tears start falling. I thought there's no way. We always did warm weather cruises so I thought maybe I could try and do Alaska or something just to dip my toe in the water, so to speak. My question to anyone that could relate is how did you know when you were ready? Is there anything that helped you get to that point? I will say, I will be going solo so there won't be any shoulder to cry on once I board. Thank you for reading, and for any replies.
