Keep going strong! Get out on beautiful days in the sunshine, it has been a long winter (at least here in NY) I used to drive to a park that had a lake. Bring a book and enjoy nature. It has a very calming effect if you let yourself absorb it all.
I had a hard time finding a support group. I reached out to various therapist offices and finally found mine. Don’t give up!
If you have time and money, perhaps visit with a family member

I am going to be visiting family this summer. I have grandchildren and miss them. But, I do connect with family via phone and text. I will keep looking for ways to interact more with people. I know it's important. I've read that loneliness is as much a killer as heart disease. Ironic that I'm both lonely and have heart issues now. But, I've always felt a little lonely, even when I was married. My 2nd marriage was the about as lonely as I could get. He was very distance and not supportive at all. I am a shy and quiet introvert. But, like you, I enjoy nature. I go on hikes every now and then.
