So Marilyn , I get it, and I KNOW losing your partner when your age is past 85, is VERY difficult. (General Consensus of Opinion). I am so sorry! I can make suggestions, but the old "we are so different" always comes into play. I used to be a Volunteer in many different ways with different circumstances and Organizations. Right now, there are still a few Millennials that ask advice, but no more door to door. Church is not an option for me, but perhaps it would make a HUGE difference in your life? Better still. even volunteering to make phone calls to other widows or widowers can make a you know you are not alone in your grief. Check out some Organization in you area...or outside in a larger city? You are NOT alone. Best to you!

Thank you for your good wishes. I get a lot of those on this platform and they always cheer me up. Church is not an option for me either. A really big reason for my despair is that shortly after my husband's death I had to have a full hip replacement. Because there was no one to look after me I had to go to a skilled nursing facility. What an oxymoron that is. How I survived 3 weeks there I will never know. We just had my husband's commitment a few weeks ago. When I left him at the cemetery I felt that I had come to an end also. What I also feel is that I am just now starting to mourn him. As my hip heals my heart gets worse. I am just not ready to go out yet.
