Single: how to cope with your condition

I’ve enjoyed reading these posts. For the first time since I’ve been single, 30 years, I’m aware that I have been experiencing feelings of aloneness. I would say two years of a lot of isolation and struggling to recover from a heart attack, triple bypass and now heart failure. I’ve developed coping skills through life experiences but I am not able to resume my life as it was. My book club of 20 years was my tribe. During COVID they decided to disband and have dropped communication. Guess they aren’t the people I thought they were. My children and sisters live in other states. How am I going to rebuild my life when my body won’t support the effort? Would love to find a local support group for women with heart disease but everything is on the computer. My interests in art, knitting, and reading are therapy but you need a certain amount of human connection. Work in progress.

Try the local library for groups that are interested in knitting and crocheting and book readings. Our little libraries here in my area have a lot of “clubs” that meet regularly . Check out the bulletin boards, join if you are not a member and use their websites to see what’s going on. There should be senior organizations somewhere.It’s a matter of goggling to begin with and there are apps like NextDoor that is available and may be in your area…tells you what’s going on in your area and has many support groups.
Your local hospital is another good source…see if they have a bulletin or just go and ask.
Others will have good ideas.
