@mrmacabre no it doesn’t for everyone. I’m 7.5 months into losing my husband of 23 years suddenly. I’m in therapy weekly telehealth and talk to a psychiatrist once a month or so . None of it helps . The loneliness is the biggest killer .
Moving out of our dream home we built 4 weeks later to a lease home 2 hrs away ,3 x price , much smaller , 1/4 yard for me & my dogs has been hell .bi don’t drive in this crazy part of FL and haven’t although I have our SUV & a drivers license. My grown kids and little grandbabies live close but not in walking distance of here . They are soooo busy w/ life & work too .
Talking to yourself and watching the clock ⏰ all day to get to early bedtime is brutal too .
I wish it was as easy as talking to a therapist or taking a pill 💊.

I'm so sorry to hear of your husband dying only 7 and 1/2 months ago. I'm sure that must be very hard for you. My husband died of lung cancer in 2024. We were married for 30 years much like you and your husband being married for 23 years; basically a long wonderful time! I know how hard it is for you because it was and still is for me also. It gets a little better in time but actually all that really happens is you get into a routine and you have to deal with life such as replacing broken appliances, fixing the car, doctor appointments etc. However, that does create a sense of normality to your world somewhat. The one thing that has really helped me is prayer. I just talk to God like he's my best friend and he is! I tell him how lonely I am and what's wrong with my life. It helps and I get my prayers answered. I do know that my husband is up in Heaven and we'll be reunited in God's time and so will you with your husband. It's just hard and lonely waiting down here! You are fortunate to have family even busy ones. I am 79 and all my family and friends are up in Heaven. I do have nice neighbors, so that helps but they are busy too. So I keep busy. My house got neglected when I took care of my husband so I'm cleaning a lot; washing the windows, sorting drawers and getting rid of 30 years of junk!
If you need to talk, I'm available. I'll say a prayer for you in this difficult time. I wish you the best.
