Hello there, My husband has recently died and I really feel the need to go away somewhere to try and begin the proces of getting on with a life without him. We travelled a lot together and loved our holidays but I've never been away on my own. Any tips/suggestions from anyone out there who has been in a similar position would be much appreciated! 'Just You' looks like it might be the way to do it - or is it too soon?

I am sorry for your loss, about the to soon I think only you can know that, why not go for a short holiday not to far away, that might suite you, but then again long distance might work as well.

All I can say is I have done 6 tours 4 long haul and 2 short haul and have two more booked and they are well worth it, very good holidays and nice people to meet and spend time with, I hope you go for it and give it a go.

GOOD LUCK

Cindy

Hi Carol

I am in the same boat as you, I lost my husband last December and have never been away on my own before. You are right in saying that we have to begin the process of getting on with life on our own. Ironically, not long after he died, a leaflet came through the letterbox from Just You, so after a couple of months I decided to have a look at the website. For quite a few weeks I looked through the forums and people seemed really friendly, so I decided to book a holiday with JY. Initially I thought about booking a Discovery Weekend, but decided to jump straight in and have booked a holiday to Heart of Alpine Europe in August, somewhere I have always wanted to visit.

There seems to be a good age range of people who travel with Just You, some of whom are in the same position as ourselves. I don't think it is too soon to book a holiday, especially if you feel ready to go away somewhere.

Hi Carol, Like you I am also a widow, have just returned from my second JY trip, have now done China and Italy, am off to Costa Rica in aug. You will be very well looked after, and will meet lots of new friends in the same situation, hope you book something for yourself soon.
