NEW LIFE NEW BLOG


 

Welcome to my new blog, which is actually the continuation of my "old" blog,WRITER's CRAMPS

It's since I moved into "my" castle which changed my life  completely,  I think it's time to start a new blog,  after Rick, my husband, died of Parkinson's/Alzheimer's in June 2022. It had been a very hard time for me and I acted like a robot. 

Without him, I felt completely lost. I tried to start over, but it was impossible. Finally, by chance, I ended up in a castle that I thought was a restaurant. It had a beautiful, large park that I immediately fell in love with. 

After I found out that I was not in a restaurant at all, but in a retirement home I didn't think further, I wanted to stay here. I had the rooms shown to me, all of which were very large, rather a studio without kitchen, and then my decision was made. I couldn't find anything nicer. I could no longer live alone in our apartment, my health  was getting worse and worse. 

I had to wait 3 months and then I moved in "my" castle. I don't remember how I did it all, I have a total blackout. I've been living here for over a year now and haven't regretted it for a minute. My health has improved, and I deal much better with my grief. It seems like I finally understand that he's never coming back.

She is in good health, and sleeps 22 h per day (at least)
 

I love my room, and my cat Rosie loves it too. Fortunately I could take her with me, we have the same age ! (18 and 81).

I've met a lot of really nice people here and I'm finally feeling home. Of course I also have my bad days especially when I miss Rick. But what the heck, I have to accept it and build a new life for myself without him. Therefore I created this new Blog for a new start !
