Thank for the positive thoughts. I’m 79 alone for the first time since my husband of 58 yrs together died a yr ago. Dealing with loneliness is big. The evenings are the worst but I’m very active. I hike I volunteer. I coffee 3 times a week. I go to the gym. I’m social. Love being with people. Trying to stay positive is hard. And staying in the present is important. Life is what you make it. And working on a positive attitude is key

Seems like you are taking really good steps to live as well as possible after a major loss. Thanks for re-inforcing things we all must try to do, each in our own way.

You have my sympathy on the death of your husband--my first husband died when I was 41, and the grief was almost physical--so painful. Your attitude is great! I'll add that I was in a grief group for about a year and it helped because it was a once a week place where I could express my feelings without burdening anyone. Will be thinking of you.
