Dear Tex ~
I just read your post. This is the first time I'm posting...mostly because of your question. In my opinion, there is no exact time or place or epiphany for this decision. We can not determine what the future will bring. You are still young and healthy! Plus, according to you, you DO have friends! You're active socially and you're still involved in life! I lost my husband, the love of my life, three years ago. We were married for 30 years, and I know there will never be another love like that in my lifetime. Besides my cat, I am truly alone. You are so lucky to have friends! Please be grateful when your phone rings. Mine doesn't ~ unless it's someone trying to sell me something! We all have a purpose ~ a reason why we're here. Try to find THAT! Be well.

Welcome, @binky1956. Thank you for joining the conversation inspired by @texasguy1962's post. I get what you're saying about recognizing what one has rather than what one doesn't.

The loss of the love of your life only 3 years ago must be hard. If you think it might help, please join the discussions in this support group:

You offered wise counsel "We all have a purpose ~ a reason why we're here. Try to find THAT!"

May I ask, have you been able to find a purpose? What brings you joy?
