I don't know if I can say anything to make you feel better, Jo. But I sympathize with ya.But have you considered adoption? There's lots of sad children out there who will never experience the joys of having parents. I know it's not the same thing as raising your own flesh and blood, but adoptive parents are always in great demand. Maybe you can start teaching sax lessons? Connect with children through your music. Maybe record an album of funky tunes for kids! Life is strange sometimes. The way things work out. But if you can wake up and look at yourself in the mirror, just remember that you've done a lot that others haven't gotten to experience either. You keep your head up and you keep going. Besides, Coltrane died when he was 40!

You deleted before I had a chance to respond but I think I recall what you wrote..As someone who has been pretty deep down in the gutter more than a few times in life I can only say that find that light within you that makes you want to know more about life and keep exploring it. Bend with the wind and don't be afraid of feeling down, angry or frustrated! Life is **** at times but the strength in knowing that is just that. Then again, it's always been easy for me to pick myself up and find joy in the smallest things. God gave me strength and my roots are deep and firmly grounded. I am thankful for that everyday. I think you said you are 50? I am 38 and can't wait to get older!! I know life will only get better  I want more wisdom and knowledge and that only comes with years. IP: Logged |

Hi there, I didn't respond initially as I wasn't sure if I could say anything to help..I'm still not sure but will echo the adoption idea, or fostering..or mentoring. Any type of regular contact with children will go further than you think. I'm 42, single with no children. I've never been too worried about having my own as when I was married it never seemed the time or we wanted a business or something..it didn't feel right for us. When my husband died I was 35, I realised that I would happily have a child if I fell in love with someone who wanted one but I haven't met anyone yet. I know that I still have time, but not much and am having to come to terms with the fact that it may not happen and I don't know how I feel about that. It's not a giant leap for me to understand where you're coming from though..if you don't mind me saying that.
If you can be involved at a real level it may satisfy you more than you think or even lead on to other, bigger things..(I work with children which I think led to my delayed desire to have my own..it's very satisfying in a different way.) Otherwise you could take my route of thinking which is that maybe it isn't to be but you may be destined for a very busy and fulfilling later life that could be satisfying in other ways. I'm not sure if that all made sense..I may have jumped about a bit but I'm on my mobile. I've said satisfying alot..lol..sorry IP: Logged |
