Monica, is there any hope that you could make a move to coincide with Pete’s move?
If I were in your position, I would be considering that as an alternative to staying in the same place with all the memories.
Could your son rent in a different area and sub let a room to you?
Just a thought.
Any thing that gets us out of a rut gives us a chance to feel less “stuck”.
I tend to isolate a lot too and guess what I discovered? The less you circulate, the less others will contact you.
Making an effort to cook a meal and invite friends sometimes fills the gap but I often feel if I didn’t make a conscious effort to stay in touch, I would soon find myself alone.
