Loss of husband: I'm only existing, how do I live again?

@thisismarilynb @skwwatkins May I suggest, if you are physically able to, to go to a church or community center where there will be a meal served. Ask to volunteer there, not just eat a meal. You would really be surprised how much that will lift your spirits, seeing how you can help others enjoy the holiday, and be around others. There are people from all walks of life who are alone on the holidays, due to all kinds of circumstances. And almost without thinking, your own spirits are lifted!
Can you consider doing that, and let me know?

No, I will not consider doing that. I do not go into churches. Also, I am 88 years old. My total hip replacement is not quite one year old, so I use a cane to help me get around. I am in therapy. Part of my problem is that I do not like being with crowds of people. I am only good with two or three at the most. So in my case being with others will not lift my spirits but make me uptight and wanting to run away. I will be much better (for me) alone.

Good advice, Ginger.
