Hello Rosebud2, when you had the whippel ;done, it saved your life, you didn't do it, it happened. Who was Rosebud2, before the surgery, what did she like, what made her happy. That person is still there ok your not used to being 105lbs. It's time to do you! Reinvent if necessary, you say you know no one but your son , start going to the library, the movies , surely there were some things that made you happy. You say he couldn't handle it, well obviously it wasn't your Mr right. Love you, that's where it starts with you!! Take this time to do you, love you!! You got a second chance live Rosebud2.

Hang in there Rosebud2. He obviously was not Mr. Right. I am alone also, and that is the least of my worries right now. You are lucky to have your son. Mine passed away. Things will get better. Try to get involved in things you are passionate about. You will meet people that share the same interests,That really helps. Do you have a pet?They give you unconditional love, which is really true love.

Hello Rosebud. What a lovely name. It implies that before long you will blossom into a beautiful rose, to be liked and admired by anyone who gets close enough.

I agree with Angelica and Ladyjane in that being yourself and proud of it, getting out to meet people and doing stuff you like is likely to distract you from any possibly negative thoughts. The unconditional love of and from a pet has been one of my favourite studies and I can confirm that it does work with regard to compaionship, love and many other things besides.

Best wishes

I really think in Jan of that year I was in Nashville having Wipple surgery my boyfriend took him to my son's,not wanting him to be alone all day while I was gone.Then in I really think he grieved ;himself to death while I was gone.It breakers my heart that it may have happened that way.

Your pet was so adorable!Remember the happy times. You will see your pet again one day. That kind of unconditional love is eternal. Have you heard the poem Rainbow Bridge?There is a site that has a candle light vigil for people that have lost their pets and it really helped me when I lost my pet ;https://www.rainbowsbridge.com

Be happy that you both were together and loved each other unconditionally. You will be reunited again. I believe our pets go to heaven, and so does the current pope. Unconditional love is the most pure love, like God's love.

Have you ever thought of adopting a shelter pet?They can sense you saved their life, are very loyal, and give so much unconditional love.

For the last 15 years, all my pets have been rescue dogs. They bond so closely and have so much love to give! I have had Great Danes, Boston Terriers, and mixed breed. They are all intensely loyal and affectionate. They helped me through the bad times and make the good times better.

Hi Rosebud2. I wholeheartedly agree with angelicamarie.Potential mates will have difficulty loving/embracing you until you honestly and truly love/embrace yourself. You're fortunate the "boyfriend" is gone. Too much of a narcissist as far as I can discern. Open your heart to yourself and good things will follow. Hell, my dear, it's only a solved medical condition. Life is good if you want it ;to be...
