I think what Jenny set up
You know, I think she got an OBE
And, you know, I think people have
It's not just
You know, friendships have continued
and it's, you know,
It's really wonderful.
Yeah.
And how valuable is it to have a group
through similar experiences?
Oh, I think it's very valuable.
I think if I had known.
I wish I'd had somebody like that.
The friend who was widowed four months
she was in a bad place herself,
you know, to have somebody, say,
and made a life is so necessary.
When you're first widowed,
think life is going to be good again.
So I think to have other widows that can
you know, it's a bit of a cliche
use it if I can help it.
But you never get over it, really,
because I can remember exactly
what happened that day, I was told.
But you learn to live with it
So do you find yourself giving out these
Yes.
I've actually done lots of courses through
on counselling and that sort of thing,
over the years.
You know, I'm 77 now,
outside the Air Force and, you know,
to me because
You don't know you've got it,
as much as what to say with people that
Something I have always said to people,
if you're invited somewhere,
Please still go.
Because actually, you do get forgotten
especially with military life,
on and going to other stations.
I'm not saying they
You know,
you know, all that time ago, but
if you keep saying no, people stop asking.
And then you end up,
you know, and the last thing
You need people, you need to get out
and I think that's one of the most
that, you know, I've met as a new widow.
