That's what Sam would say "stand up tall" . Thank you for your encouragement.

Happy New Year!

Hi, my heart goes out to you, first off.  I think you did the right thing to celebrate on a cruise.  I think this vacation will be whatever you would like it to be.  You can be a part of things onboard or just relax and do what you want. 

I just went on a Carnival cruise alone, having ended an 18 year relationship.  This was my 2nd cruise, and it was a good time.  But, it for sure would have been better being around lesbian women.  I think you are doing the right thing, and at the very least it will serve as a diversion from every day life, right? 

 Yes, the holidays are tough no matter what we do.  Stand up tall, shoulders against the wind, and do the best you can.  No one formula works for us all, so time will pass and slowly you will find your way.

Good luck on your cruise, and I hope that you have a good New Year!

Hi, I just need some support right now. I recently lost the love of my life...again, this time for good.  Eighteen years ago Sam and I dated, when we broke up I thought I would die.  She came back into my life sixteen years later and I did what I said I would never do. I went back into a relationship with her. I'd always known she was the love of my life, my soulmate, but we weren't ready to have that relationship sixteen years ago. We had some growing up to do. This time around we were ready. We LOVED fully, completely. It was the most amazing, profound relationship. We married, I took her name, we were extremely happy. Everything was perfect. Then 4 days short of our 1st anniversary, Sam was killed in a hit and run accident on her motorcycle...I celebrated her life in a memorial on our anniversary. I booked a cruise with Olivia for January thinking it might help, but I'm just scared and sad. help.
