TerryL, thank you for your concern. I have been hospitalized twice since my s.o. died. Each time was a week. I think it is less than 2 weeks, since I got out the 2nd time. I would not feel better going back a 3rd time. It would serve no good purpose. I would be bored there. I don't believe I'm in danger of harming myself anytime soon. So there's no basis for me to be hospitalized again. Despite all that, I am grateful for you to think I need that level of care. I am deteriorating emotionally. It is frightening.

I'm truly afraid that I will not recover.
