Are there any other young widows out there? My husband died suddenly of a massive MI 2 years ago and I am still having a hard time coping. I am only 44, and I was not expecting to have to deal with all of this at my age. One of the things I figured out fairly quickly was that I cannot work at home alone, so I have returned to school for nursing. However, I am very lonely. Our friends, all still happily married couples, rarely think to include me in outings anymore, and I am not sure where to meet new friends my own age. I just want someone I can call and say let's go shopping or get some lunch. I actually dread weekends because I know I will be sitting here alone. I am very outgoing, and have tried various venues to meet people including school and the gym. I talk to people every where I go, but still no one to hang with. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
PS: I should state that I went throgh grief counseling which was very helpful in that they old me everything I was feeling was normal, and I was not going crazy, but that doesn't help with the loneliness. |
