Answer 1

Join some YWCA groups and some educational groups and reading groups at the library. Drop the ones you want and start new ones later. Sooner or later something will work out.

Answer 2

I'm 46 and lost my husband to suicide 18 mos ago. I understand where you are - completely. My husband and I were so close. When he died, I died too.

Stay close to family, close to friends. Let them help you. Take a class or two. Take up a new hobby. Believe it or not, hang out at a neighborhood bar. Shop at the same places regularly. Stay out of the house as much as possible. Travel if you can. Keep people around you. Have a friend stay with you when ever possible.

I moved in with my sister for the time being. It has helped me to live with her and her husband, to be part of a family right now, to eat at a table with them, go to church with them, shop for groceries, clean house, read and laugh with someone I love.

Just know that it will get better with time. I'm still lonely. Maybe we always will be but I know that just as I'm less lonely than I was a year ago I will be less lonely a year from now. Hang in there, friend, and keep a good thought.

Answer 3

Sorry to hear about your wife, have you got any other family. I have lost my mum, dad and mother in law plus some grandparents and i found spending time with family and close friends helped. I haven't lost my partner so i don't know how i would cope there but i think that been around people would help with lonliness, and when you couldn't be with family or friends maybe a hobby, something that interests you might help. When my mum died my dad starting making model boats. That kept his mind occupied. He was about your age. Hope things get better for you.

Answer 4

Lonliness kills! this is what i believe if you do not take it as a problem and try to solve it. I am really sorry for your wife but as you can not bring her back..so try something on factual basis and be practical. Try to keep yourself busy in some hobby but if you are missing the company of a woman then do marry again. In my opinion, woman can only be replaced by a woman. So my sincere advice....get married soon!

Answer 5

Sorry for your loss. Lonliness can really get you feeling down. It's time to get out and do some new things that perhaps you haven't done before now.

I lost a wife once early in life, and i had to broaden my horizons, i started doing something i'd not before like, attending play's, (theatrical performances), going to art show's, museums, farmer's markets and such, doing stuff i never did before. I didn't hang out in bars and such, and i had to force myself to strike up conversations with women until i felt comfortable doing it.

I even started attending a local church, and joined a group of people in my community that gathered for a dance every week.

You gotta move on, check in your local paper for weekly events and start attending them, you'll meet another lady and although she can never be a replacement for your wife you'll more than likely find one that is a good a mate as one could be.
