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.
