I read some good advice from other posters.
I did not loose a wife from death but divorce. I did go through therapy. I had to go through a couple until you find the right mixed for you. Please consider that.
On dating, therapist will advise to wait until you go through the grieving process. If not you are no in a frame of mind for dating or adding anohter person to your life. This is something a therapist can guide you though. Sometimes a therpaist will advise something and you don't like it. But remeber you are grieving and what you are experiencing in this stage of your life is from extreme stress.
I saw one poster mention trying to find a hobby. I belong to prostate support group on MCC also. We have all gone through high stress and anxiety. I post so often to try and exercise you like doing (after clearing with doctor) and/or a hobby you like doing. Then do those and enjoy that activity. You will usually meet others doing same activity and interaction of doing something you all like.
Mental health greatly affects physical health and vice versa. Give yourself time to grieve. It is normal to feel it and go through it. Time does and will affect how you feel. Please consider another therapist and one that can prescribed medications that are best for you.
Do you have a favorite exercise? Do you have a hobby? When FDR was dealing with the extreme stress of WWII he made time almost every day to work on his stamp collection. It help him mentally do something that he liked. I read this in every book I read about FDR.
Appreciate your kind comments. I was elected to our board of directors for our condo association and luckily that keeps me busy. She died in 2015 however the level of grief has never changed. Taking 4 anti depressant night and I hate it!
