2016 finally ending :)

Hi wiki's,

Well i can't deny, i will be so glad to see the end of 2016, what a year, apart from my health & the clothes on my back i can say i'm still breathing, i can't say i'm happy, infact, i can say i'm dreading 2017....what utter crap will it throw at me.

I've lost my home, my new partner just about eveything i'd ever dreamed of, i feel cheated, robbed & sometimes wonder what on earth is the point of anything.

Why can life be so bloody cruel (apologises for the bad language). What do i have to look forward to in 2017... a job i no longer enjoy, living in a truck, which i no longer enjoy, no home, no partner, nothing.

I have a few quid in the bank, but why ?? i've slogged my gut's out & for what, to leave me homeless & empty, hard to start over in your mid 50's, but i plod along for yet another year, same ol' same ol' as they say,

I would like to thank my fellow Wiki's for your help & support this year & to wish you all A Happy Christmas & a happy prosperous 2017,

Best Wishes G

You have your health, you have a few quid maybe you can think of something to do which will spark joy in 2017 and start to make plans.
Divorce is dreadful but life can still be good I do hope you have a better 2017 (and everyone else here too).

chin up feel the same as you and trying hard to get into the Christmas spirit.if one more person tell me you never know what is around the corner I will scream.
just try to take one day at a time wishing you better lucky in 2017 hugs xx

Really don't know what to say other than things can only get better - new year fresh start - onwards and upwards - Here's to a happier new year.

Chin up and big hugs

I agree, life can be pretty grim at times and sometimes I too just wish I could get a time out and just shut down or go into hibernation for a while and get my strength back - but life seems to just keep throwing the punches!

It's tough but we can't let it all get the better of us. We can fight back, there is so much out there - don't limit yourself to what you know. See this as an opportunity to explore a life you don't know. There's not just one type of "happy". Take a "glass half full" view on life and think of 2017 as a year of new opportunities and experiences and keep moving forward. Don't just plod along - make plans and then make them happen.

You've had a lot to deal with and it's hard to pick yourself up - but good things can happen.

Good bye 2016... bring on 2017!

Christmas and New Year are always going to be emotional times for the divorced/separated. (See rubytuesday's post for coping strategies.)

Respect to you Grrrrrrrrrr01 for getting through the past year with all the loss and hardships. I wish you the strength to face 2017 with the same determination that got you through all that. You've had lots of bad times, but just as the year is ending, so is some of the pain.

Special respect for parents like mumof3 who have to find superhuman strength to remain positive about the loss of their children from their daily lives.

The challenge is staying well and as positive as you possibly can. It's easy to get sick when reserves are low. So for 2017 a wish that you stay as well as possible and that a year from now, you will be in a far better place.

thank you so much mitchum for your lovely comments. Yes its hard to bear but there are always people in a worse situation. Lets hope that 2107 brings better times for all of us in pain.
