Hello, I understand your pain, been thru something like it myself. I found out thru therapy I had to put myself first in my life. I have to love, respect and appreciate myself. What do I want to do, what are my interests, find things that will fill your time, keep your mind and your hands busy. Do a jigsaw, paint, sew, go on line and play games. Read some good books. These are trying times just now, so we cannot socialize, join a chat group on line. Call your friends and chat, write letters to friends. Healing ourselves takes time, but it can be done, I did it, and have countless other people. So go in your bathroom, look in the mirror and say "I love You", put some lipstick on and some nice music, dance around your living room. If the weather is nice, go out for a walk, get some sun if you can, it is good for us and free Vit D.....the exercise will be good for your well being. So go for it girl....we are here, write to us we offer love and support....sending love, peace, hugs.....Sprinkle 1.

p.s. if you like dogs, go to the pound and find an older dog to adopt, you can take it for walks and it will keep you company.

I am with you, the same stuff has happened to me. Two husbands died too early, age 30 and age 55, another decided to "stop working" right after we adopted a child. Try to find something that you can find joy doing. You can't find happiness with a partner who doesn't participate.
