Yes you could choose to do nothing. Yet doing “something has always helped you more Rose. It’s important to know yourself and what works for you.

You probably do have some depression. That may be what contributes to that alone feeling you are describing.

Right now you are experiencing a lot of feelings and some reflection. You are very intelligent so your mind will come up with a lot of thoughts.

Yes you and your significant other were like a family. And like all relationships not perfect. We all can experience a certain “aloneness”. It’s part of being human.

I know it’s early yet but I do think it would help you if you sat and searched for a grief support group. You are not the only one that has lost a life partner and is experiencing loneliness. You have to push yourself a bit to make an effort to connect. You never know what’s out there unless you explore.

I get it that it’s too fresh yet. Just don’t talk yourself into giving up.
