Things you're sad you'll never do again.

[BlueBloodedBlue]

For me it's horse riding. Haven't actually ridden in years but I used to love it and always thought I'd go back to it.

Now too old and scared of falling and it makes me really sad

Anyone else?

Have a weekend away, An evening out, go to the cinema.
I’ve two children the oldest has autism and the youngest on the pathway to diagnosis. We can’t get any support or childcare other than school and nursery. Even cinema started too late for us to go during the day. We don’t seem to get a minute to be “us” anymore

Spending hours sat with friends taking. Everything is short and scheduled now.
I miss the freedom of just seeing where the day or night would take us.

Hearing my husband tell me he loves me. Going shopping/out with him Being able to ask for his help when I need it.

I echo your post. I miss mine so very much. He gave the best hugs, and was an all-round amazing man.

Walk hand in hand with my husband...he uses a walking frame now.

My youngest falling asleep sat on my lap
Walking with my Dad and his dog

To be able to figure skate without the fear of injury at the back of my mind. To be able to throw myself into the air and trusting my body to land safely on my blades or on my bum. I have been too harsh on my body with my life with anxiety and its just not as well functiong as it used to be.

Feel a baby kick

Go for a long muddy walk with my Dad. Climbing up a mountain. Eating crap for weeks without putting on weight.

Skiing, I love it so much and we went regularly throughout my childhood and then I went as an adult multiple times when I was young free and single with a decent amount of disposable income.

But now with 4 young kids and tight finances I can’t see that I’ll ever go again. Even if I had the money my DH can’t ski so we’d have to find other people to go with etc.

But still you never know. Maybe one day

Listen to my eldest son pontificate about music,films, books, whatever else was on his mind.
It used to drive me insane at the time but I would give anything to hear his voice again.
10 years this year since we lost him 😪

Live with my parents and siblings together in one house.
Life was so much simpler then (even though I didn't realise that at the time).

To feel close enough to a man to actually want to kiss him. (And for him to actually want to kiss me too. But thats another story.)

I sometimes really, really miss that feeling of being loved by someone who is not related to me. I don’t believe you necessarily have to be in a relationship to be happy but having a loving partner can make life easier, as life is such a difficult journey.

Breastfeed.

This is a beautiful thread and a reminder to appreciate and enjoy our loved ones, our health and our mobility. Sick with covid this week and knowing that next week I'll almost certainly be back fit as a (50 year old) fiddle makes me a lucky woman.

Oh I'm so sorry xx

Amen!

So so sorry to hear that 💐

What I actually miss the most is life without depression, the will to live and the ability to enjoy life.

So many
Riding
Skiing
That breathiness of new love

Patting my baby in my bump

Absolutely loved Dancing especially Ballet.
Permanent effect foot surgery has meant that I will never dance again
Now have a mobility scooter so can get out and about which I am very grateful for.

Believe things will get better.

Go on rollercoasters- I'm too scared now
Get stupid drunk, dance all night and fall over
Have friends that are closer than family
Pull fit blokes
Fall in love
Be pursued
