I"ver lived alone for almost 11 months. My wife, Patt, died at the end of February of 2011. It takes some adjusting as you well know. I was really a mess for many months. I cried everyday for many months. I still cry some two or three times a week, missing my wife. I've done a lot more praying since Patt has been gone. I actually feel much closer to God than I ever have. I had to move back home to Indiana to help myself. I'm not far from my daughters and I have several close friends nearby. That has helped a lot. But, I will not say being alone is easy. Prayers are sent your way. If you need to talk just let me know. I will IM my phone number to you.
