The Reverse Mortgage –

Is it Right for You?
Windsor Writers
Living in a big house on two acres on a hill when my husband died
became a big problem for me. To make it more difficult, all of my
family and friends said not to make any big decisions for at least
two years. So I waited … not patiently … but just to please my
family and friends.
The first summer after Ben’s death, a friend showed
up each week with her high-powered mower and
cut my grass. Being on a hill and not having a
high-powered mower, Ben had worn out two pairs
of golf shoes cutting that grass. By the end of the
summer I found a yard service that had just opened.
I was lucky to find them. For thirty-five dollars they
cut that hilly two acres, bagged the grass and
trimmed everything. In the fall they offered to rake
all of the leaves and dispose of them for the same price. Someone
was watching out for me!
With the help of a friend whose husband had also died I began to
develop some social life … not much, but some. We went to support
groups and to a singles group. I was tired of people bugging me
about rejoining the world. When asked, I usually replied that I was

fine and exaggerated the activities and the fun the groups brought to
my lonely life.
When the two years were up I happily sold my house and moved into
a townhouse. I threw everything into my new place and took off for
California where I took a train trip up the coast to Seattle. On the
train I met two gentleman while we were standing
at the bar in the club car having a drink. There were
only three of us and the bartender so we all began
conversing. It was a good adventure to start my new
life.
My return to the classroom helped with the loneliness
I felt in my apartment. I continued to struggle not
only with loneliness but with the incessant advice I
received. Then out of the blue, a four-year-old set me straight. I had
to laugh, and I felt better. Timothy noticed that I looked sad and
asked why. I spontaneously told him that I was lonely. He asked if I
had children.
“I have three but they all live in other cities.”
“Oh,” he said … and then asked, “Well, do you have a husband?”
