How I Learned To Live Alone & Find Happiness - My Life At 67

I have just lost my husband 4 weeks ago. I have to sell up and downsize. I feel lonely and I don’t know where to even begin with this new life at almost 57 😢

🎉😊❤ No Word... Thanks🌹🙏🌹 You Are God🔮 Chosen one🛡️, I Feel that's. Nice, Thanks Ma'am.

I’m 43, been on my own for 14 years, the kids are older, and out of the house studying. I can’t wait to be on my own, currently living with my parents.


I cherish my alone time and I never feel lonely, even though I don’t have any pets.

Your dog is SO adorable!! I love him!!!

God teaches us we are never alone my faith we have our guardian angels chosen by Heavenly Father look after your physical and mental health as non selfish people

In regards to downsizing, I was going through a divorce at age 50. I had to move out of my forever home and moved into the two bedroom condo that I was left with. As everyone else I was devastated and mostly because I had my house decorated just the way I liked it. Rather than deciding to sell off and reduce my little world to almost nothing, I had the movers come and put most of the furniture and decor in storage. I kept only what was most important to me. Over a period of years I hung on to all the storage stuff.
My goal was to build a small cabin in the mountains and after 7 years my dream became reality. By that time I was not that attached to the storage furniture any longer and it was an easier decision to sell/donate everything that didn’t serve me anymore. I stopped burdening myself with the past and started enjoying the newness and excitement of what’s to come. I’ve been living in my cabin 19 years now and have wonderful friends, it’s a lot easier to make friends in a small Mountain Town in AZ and I’m dancing in my Zumba class. I’m going to be 80 years young this year and love my life without attachment.

I'm an old woman with a chihuahua and I love it. I did this thing called life! I downsized, just me & my chihuahua named donut & a cup of coffee! I'm free & got all I need! You can do this make the last chapters of your life happy, thats what counts!❤

You are so gifted in reaching within people and making them feel understood and accepted. I divorced my husband this past year because he became some one I didn’t recognize. I no longer felt safe, especially financially. I married him when I was 21. I’m 65 now. I downsized drastically and kept only what brought me joy, as you said. I am surrounded by things I love to look at, and,things I treasure from my life. I would never call myself a minimalist, lol. I have never been more calm and actually happy before in my life. I had a very emotionally traumatic childhood, and my narcissistic mother is still alive (at 93), and continuing to disrupt me mentally, even though I moved away from home to another state far away, and I have truly minimal contact with her. I am still working on finding my happy, and I’m closing in on it by living alone. Thank you for understanding, and for helping me love myself more than I ever have. I am enough.

Ya too bad we don't learn while we are young to live in the moment. I'm connected to a relationship with God an his beautifuloimyains colored leaves an on an on

Oh my God, you are telling my story, I lost my husband over a month ago, my world was shattered in a million pieces😢, yes stop the worry , and be free, I still can't believe he is gone, thanks for sharing!!! live in the moment and be in the now, I love this soooooooo much!!! God Bless, my grandbabies 2 year old boy, 9 year old girl they along with my lovely daughter, I know this was heaven sent.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DESI!!!🎉❤
YOURE AN AWESOME LADY, MADE MY DAY!!
Thanks sister for sharing!!

Thank You for your Testamony.
I cut off every one, during the time I was Greaving...Because I found out the hard way, each of My closest friends ENVY ME. They asked questions, how I was feeling with Great concern, and told everyone in Church and and our social gatherings. I confronted them, to find out why? They said, because You were so Happy and Confident in your Marriage, and that they Envied ME. 😮WOW!! At my Lowest point and most venerable state of mind. [ My Husband, decided to molest Young Girls, I Had Him Put into Jail along with their Testamonies.] I was BEYOND crushed emotionally 💔 😭. And Highly Embarrassed!!! And the kicker, He was Poisoning Me!! My Doctors confirmed and Police found the solution he used. And these two Best Friends of 30 years; couldn't override their Envy, to Genuinely help me in my real Life threatening need.]
I am now 3 years later able to speak about it. I have New Friends ❤❤. Because during that time my entire Life crumbled, I thought I would loose my mind; but, instead I lost Friends and Family, Church and Social communities, everything. And my life consisted of Church, HOME, FAMILY Work and friends . Then, I got a call from a child's Father demanding to speak to my Husband. My Husband hung up the phone, then, Called the Police on himself. Then attempted to commit suicide in front of me; before I could process what I just heard him say to the police 😮. During the trials he tried to gag me from speaking. I found out he wanted to collect the Insurance money. But, I secretly, gave my statement to the Judge. He is currently serving two 11 years sentences. A Divorce is difficult enough, I was left with all the bills . I finally found guidance that could help me financial difficulties and other things and I am just still getting through Emotional difficulties. While building My New Life a safe life. It's a process...Thank You for your tips on learning to Love and Appreciate yourself and to treat ourselves well. That was most up lifting ❤❤❤. 1/24

I needed this. Do you have trouble remembering things that you want to do?

I’m currently divorcing my husband of 24 years after finding out he’s been financially destroying our future for years and lying about it. Downsizing and planning a simple life once our house is sold. Heartbroken to be starting again at 56 but determined to come out stronger and wiser. ❤❤❤

my word susan u are so beautiful and gorgeous 😍

When thinking about how her life will be 20 -30 years in the future, I'm sure most women in their 30s-40s think to themselves, "I can't wait to spend Saturday night eating at a table with a dog that's wearing a bowtie". Who needs men when you can get a dog and buy as many batteries as possible.

I understand and appreciate. I downsized 3 years ago and need to downsize again. Accumulate so quickly. What is the size of your apartment. You've done well with it.

Thank you. I especially like what you say about being connected, and seeking connection. I'm divorced and wish I wasn't, but every day I connect with nature or people. Every Thursday I volunteer at the local riding for the disabled stables, and find that to be the highlight of my week. I also do Sunday School. I'm not boasting, what I mean is I do these things to feel fully alive ( I teach a couple of hours a week too). If you take the time to pursue what gives your life meaning it will involve some sacrifice, but the rewards are that, like today, I can look at the golden autumn trees, think of those happy children, my lovely co-volunteers and these adorable, gentle horses, and think, Wow, my life is actually awesome and wonderful. It was so worth getting up early and going out for.

❤

You're lovely and wise. I love living alone, and withered in marriage. I feel this is the blossoming of my life in joyful independence.

I love all your tube videos. So inspiring and they really help me. Thank you for sharing all that you do.

You lost me at the mention of the earl estate deceivers...next to corrupt politicians, they are the worst deceivers on the planet. Otherwise, you are a blessing.

Your Michigan accent is precious ❤🎉😊. Your presentation s always brighten my day.❤

❤❤❤

Because of you❤

That is so true ❤

We do have our fur babies ❤

Beautiful lovely 🌹

I don't have anything from my parents

I don't have anything from my parents

I quit living when my husband left....i wish i would have found u a long time ago

LOVE YOUR SHOW!! I feel we'd be good friends. Sadly, after 23 years of marriage, two great kids, loads of effort caring for my family and my husband through his 3 back surgeries, his substance issues, his memory loss, his bipolar depression, he wants a divorce at age 55. I am heart broken, but I have to ask myself- wouldn't my life be easier? I am going to grad school, caring for my elderly mom, newly empty nesting, and I am so hurt and lonely but you help! So thank you for your sweet show little poet, it gives me so much good hope. I appreciate your wisdom and encouragement. Hug cute little adorable Desi for me! ❤

Happy Birthday tpo your doggy!🎉
Thank You for sharing the wonderful thoughts. I especially related to the fear thing where you said we are mostly afraid of the things others say about how things are. And I have always been the one to be afraid of the stuff they put me in my head and projected it on my life to the point it actually happened when there was no place in my life for loss. I kind of inflicted it upon me with projection.
Can you please, share your thoughts about when a family member has emotionally and physically abused you to the point that you cringe at the thought of them. And yet they don't respect your boundaries and try to be mushy with you , force you to communicate with them and pressurise others to force you!
I cringe at this whole thing even writing about it..

I know exactly how it feels , I didn't want to put up my Xmas tree because I did not see it worthwhile , that was 10 years ago, now I do put up my tree and leave live the life I would love to ..❤ so much truth , which we don't really talk about ..it's amazing how our stories match despite the fact that we live in different continents , cultures and positions xx thank you

People who ARE IN COMMUNION with JESUS CHRIST( GOD) are NEVER ALONE.

Dod treated like a Human being- Thats NEW INSANITY of our fallen age.

i really like your stories...

I'll be 61 years old next month... I've been alone for 18 now the best time so far of mylife...

At 63, I down sized to a 400 sf mobile home on a small lot on a hillside overlooking mountains on one side and the river on the other. I am so happy. I have a small mortgage that never increases unlike the crazy rents today. I have never been happier.

I love my freedom! But my husband let me have a good deal of freedom. He knew i was pretty wild and free and it took a bit for him to tame me. So he never smothered me or tried to boss me around. I also have always had a twisted sense of humor which he loved. My kids have the same twisted humor as their mother so family time is pretty much always fun and silly but love covers it all. I just need to quit worrying about how much longer am i going to be stuck on this oxygen concentrator. I dont want to die alone, but i dont want to humiliate myself in front of my kids. I don't really want to think about it at all but its the bull in the room. I want to find some fun things to do to have some new experiences. I need to get my mind on new light and airy things. Any suggestions? I'm not dying today! Happy Birthday Desi!🎉❤

I've just discovered your videos and want to tell you how much you lift my spirits.... Thankyou

I do lov your tape u have a soothing voice I'm glad I listened abd I'm subscribing!

I had my ID stolen day after my Jimmy died and it's still going on it won't stop no one to help me only adding to my grief

Sontines being alone is better it doesn't bother me because wht I've been thru I can't trust no one

But one neighbor in his 40s remember when he was born he told me the other day u look better u even talk sound better well that gelped me alot that's a good thing but people now have l9st all sincerity to their fellow man one neighbor said I wasn't a civil person well is hoardi g 30 cats civil I don't think so that's animal abuse don't u

Your Lil baby dog adorable

There's a saying need a friend get a dog well I've my husband's service dog wht a support she is

I'm 80 so my age is against me cause everyone is younger so their day will cone!

I list my love 9 m9s ago 53 marriage he died nxt to me come to lue downgraded my hand 10 sec. He's hone I worked on himges never coming back I have his service dog Rebecca darling I call her and his flag that draped his casket it's on the pillow nxt to me with his puc. I've cried every nite I can't stop no one was here for me and still no one even today one told me I can't get involved with u another well she said I was just a piece s.... they are full of evil u know people 30 40 yrs they're all fake so I locked all of them no one not his work etc no card phone mail nothing they all lied so be it I've only had God fir support so I continue to pray

Essentially we are all alone. If married, one will go first, right!. Learn to enjoy life alone, is real joy. No need to obey so many rules. Aloneness is a great virtual to develope. If you are not happy with yourself , you can't live with anyone. I meditate daily, have a nice day.❤. From Malaysia.
