Women over 50

I, like so many others, I'm sure, seem to be going through some kind of existential uncertainty.

The children that have been the reason of living and the center of our world have now left the home. The husband that was existent or not, for many of us is no longer in the picture, and I for one, have lost my position during these difficult times.

So here I am home, with practically no funds, no job, no family trying to survive a world I hardly recognize and I truly don't know where to begin.

To be a little more specific, I live in Athens, Greece. I am 59 years old. I have lived in different parts of the world and returned to Greece recently. It has proved impossible to find employment at my age here besides little jobs here and there.

The loneliness of the empty nest is still insufferable (my daughter moved only a couple of months ago) although I know that eventually this too will become easier but right now it is very hard. One situation makes the other even harder and I don't know how to deal with all this.

So I decided to write this blog as I know this is a means of communicating with many people and I know that there are many women out there that have either gone through or are going through the same situation as me.

Maybe we can help each other, and maybe we can together come up with a plan to do something constructive with our lives.

So ladies, here we are, if you have the time to chat and exchange ideas and views let me know.
There is so much to talk about that I am sure we can keep purselves busy and happy to have made new friends.

So I can't wait to hear from you.

The sun will shine tomorrow and I am hoping that it will thin out the clouds of my life.

Take care all of you!
