After aiden died people told me I would meet someone else if I wanted to, for friendship (or maybe love) these things didnt have to be excluded from my life. I still had my part time job and often had to look after my young grandson. Friendship or love seemed out of the question, even if I was ready to replace my husband (impossible). After being dropped by friends who'd promised to be there, for couples meals or holidays, I felt let down and lonely. I plucked up the courage to try online dating and was quite taken aback by how many people were out there I the same situation as me. It felt safe and reassuring to site behind the PC and get the awkward first messages out of the way. I'm hooked now!
