Table for Six or Two or One!
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 12 seconds
Last night, I had dinner with five widows, and in the morning, I had breakfast in a booth with a friend.
Tonight I might dine alone as it is Cranford’s Winter Restaurant Week.
Of course, if I dine at Ambeli Greek Taverna, my favorite local dining room, I am confident for a few moments that the owner and my friend Chris will join me for a few moments.
One of the concerns I hear from my fellow widows is the awkwardness of dining alone.
Even when Jan was alive, I often dined alone while away on business.
Dining alone is not as fun as when Jan sat across the table from me.
I will continue to dine with fellow widows, friends, and by myself.
But I will never truly dine alone as Jan will always be with me!
Her love for me and my love for her will never die!

The day Jan died, I wasn't sure how long I would live.
I still do not know, but none of us knows how many days we will live.
A good friend called the morning after the love of my life died to offer his sympathy and support.
He said, "You are resilient, and that will help you on your journey. You will survive despite the pain you feel today."
At that moment, I was unconvinced of his opinion.
But over time, my resilience has rebounded.
