I understand your loneliness. You mentioned traveling a long distance for therapy sessions. My daughter does her therapy virtually. Do you have that option? Please don't hurt yourself. Get yourself up and out of the house for a little bit each day. Not only will the fresh air help your mood, but it will give you purpose. Consider volunteering at a local school, hospital, or community group. In my case, it is very rewarding to help someone else in need. I never forget the loss of my husband, but I honor his memory by helping someone else.

Another misinterpretation. I was never going to hurt myself. It was a very bad night and I said those words. Why didn't anyone see I also said I gave my solemn promise to my son that I would never harm myself? I am not in a position to volunteer. Shortly after my husband's death I had to have a full hip replacement. I had to go through this alone. I am still taking physical therapy and need a cane to walk. So volunteering, going out for a walk, etc. are not for me. I have a ways to go yet.
