Sorry to hear about your late husband and you being alone. I'm close to your age and I feel very alone, too. I have never been married. All I have is just one friend locally and we seldom get together. And then I have my sister, who lives 3000 miles away and we just talk by phone. And last, I have an old friend from college who is 3000 miles away from me also and we just write to each other.

There was a time when I had quite a few friends, though at that time I felt like I didn't have much. It would seem like a lot if I had all of them now. I miss a lot of those old friends I had. They drifted away because they got married; and some just didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore.

I obviously don't have any suggestions or advice for you since I'm pretty much in the same situation. I have been trying, myself, with things to meet other people and make friends. They all didn't seem to work.

Best to you.
