Ever since my husband died in March, 2020, I’ve been coping with loneliness. But a sweet, loving dog in June of 2024 has helped a lot. Also, I go to a senior center for a $2 lunch and companionship a few times a week.
So sorry for your loss. I turn off the tv about 9 pm, read a book, say prayers, and use a heating pad on my back to soothe me to sleep about 10:15. I’m 78 years old, widow for 5+ years.
