Beg to differ. You just have to make your mind up about it. My mother, handicapped as she was, has lived a very enjoyable life for the most part since she was 39. She lived near sisters and children, but even if she didn't, she belonged to clubs, and socialized a lot.Aha moment. She was married for eternity though, and has that to look forward to. When her husband (my dad) died, they were very much in love, and she has never looked for another man.
He has been gone for 40 years. I'm sure she was where you are after 3. It takes time, and then you're hardened just a bit to it.
