I totally understand your journey. I too, am alone with my arthritis, torn rotator and fibromyalgia. I am happy to get a visitor occasionally but really find it takes a lot of energy. I am worried because i may need knee surgery and then I can't be alone. I have 2 flights of stairs and am not sure about a stair lift or selling my place. So bless you so I do sincerely hope it gets somewhat better for you to handle.

Thank you for the kind response. I know I'm not alone in struggle. There is a world of suffering. The biggest challenge for me is how to stay engaged in life when I have so many physical limitations. Being alone increases sadness about loss of partner.
I practice mindfulness meditation and that gets me through the darkest moments but I want more than survival. I’d like to experience joy again. Does this resonate with anyone?
