I need some advice. I was invited to a bull roast with my neighbors on Saturday the 17th. I decided that I am going to go. I need time to myself and to also get to talk and hangout with others. This will be the first time that I will be going out without any family. I feel like I am taking that first step in acceptance and ready to go forward. I'm not looking for a date or a boyfriend but it would be nice to have a companion to hang out with. If something else develops I'll take it as it goes. I'm just nervous about it because this is a big step in my progress. Do you think that I am doing the right thing? I feel like I am but, I am also worried about what others would think.</P> Thu, 08 May 2025 03:44:06 GMT KimberlyM389662 2025-05-08T03:44:06Z https://community.aarp.org/t5/Grief-Loss/Advice/m-p/2609914#M16910 <P><a href="https://community.aarp.org/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/32699552">@SummerOnTheWay1</a>&nbsp;</P><P>Hey sister.
