Marilyn - congrats on a successful hip replacement and having such courage as you let time do it’s healing - physically AND with grief. And Wendy - it’s only been a year and I am so sorry for your loss. The enthusiasm will slowly creep back into your days- but with a knee replacement lingering, it’s a lot ! - be kind to yourself. If possible enjoy the small things in each day like a good cup of coffee or a lovely summer day and the rest … those things associated with grief that make it so hard - will resolve themselves on your own time schedule. Lean on family and friends now - it’s a gift to them to be able to help you.
