Hi @invincible9 I am Scott. Mid 60's and a recent widower. Nice to e-meet you. I am in a similar situation having moved to a new community just before my wife was diagnosed with brain cancer and I became her full time caregiver. No local friends, so I have focused on renewing several acquaintances from my past. Many of whom I have years of catching up to do. It has proven to be rewarding for both parties. I find I then enjoy and appreciate my quiet alone time more fully. I also never end one trip without placing a new replacement onto my calendar so I always have some future event to look forward to, even if it is just cooking dinner with our daughter who lived about an hour away.

I also have become active on Connect sharing my experiences with others electronically.

Peace and strength.
