Recently widowed how can i cope disabled oap feel helpless without wife.?
just need to know how to find company feeling down in the dumps to much.
Answers:
Why don't you put yourself on a free community computer course. A lot of older people only have basic computer knowledge and these courses attract a particular age group. This way you will learn more about your computer, have company and meet new people.
Enquire at a local job centre plus or look in your local paper. Otherwise you could join a local dating agency and meet up with ladies who may be in your position for company. Your wife would not like you to be lonely forever. Ignore people who judge you.
Whatever you decide to do, try to think posotive and stay ahead of youyr sad situation. Good luck to you!
To make friends online join myspace, even if it is just for idle chat with others.
there's normally lots of little groups you can joing through your local churches etc. You go on day trips etc. or if you are close to a club ie conservative, labour, seamans that type of thing, they normally organise things for oap's to do.
I truely hope you find something soon

Sorry to hear you lost your wife. If you are disabled, are you not entitled to home help? Don't forget, you have many friends on here. Cheer up xx
Hang in there. Start a 360 page pour your heart into it and wait friends will come.
Churches tend to organise get togethers so do Ex-Servicemens Clubs. What interests do you have, join a club involving those to meet people. You are probably entitled to some help around the house too. Sorry to hear you lost your wife.
The loss of a life partner is a terribly sad event to and the pain will not go away quickly, it takes time to recover. I am really sorry for your loss and your feelings of helplessness. May I suggest that you contact Cruse which is an organisation for bereaved people and those caring for the bereaved. You should find their tel. no. at the beginning of the phone book under Health and Helplines . It really does help to get in touch with people that genuinely understand your pain.
Then, you could call a help line for disabled people and find out details of your local group. Most towns have one. You need emotional and possibly domestic and/or physical help if you are disabled.
Don't be alone, go for all the help you can find and good luck.
Yes you do need to be around others. There are groups for people who have lost loved ones. Churches do offer some kind if help in home just to talk. You may try calling Mental health and see if they offer or can point you in the right direction for help/groups.
We have a section in our news paper that list groups that meet you may want to check your local paper out.
I am sorry for the passing of your wife
We all grieve in different ways give yourself the time you need but DO get out with others
theres no easy answer what would she want probly to move on with flying colors? i believe were the ones in hell now while there at peace forgive me for mybeliefs thats just the way it is ? walk tall thats probly what she would have wanted you to do? when this blows over find someone to fill the gap .becareful who you find?
You have made a start already by admitting it publicly. Just remember you have a right to feel down etc., but don't dwell on it and try not to feel sorry for yourself. If you get down just get to your computer and look for something you haven't tried before. Try 'Friends Reunited' or a chat room. If you can get to a library or even a coffee shop you will always find people there who are passing time. Hopefully they will have time for a chat and even a few minutes chatting can take your mind from yourself.
Take care and don't be afraid to ask again for help. There is always someone to listen and listening is all you need at times.
God bless
