[quote=Anonymous]Get out of your comfort zone, OP. Do something different. Join a travel group. My best friend just got divorced at 55, no kids, and she's completely at loose ends. She quit her job after inheriting a pile of money, so she started out by decorating her house, and visiting friends, and doing some charity work, and then she suddenly changed and really started helping people by working for a serious charity for indigent kids. She is a volunteer, but she really devotes her life to this work, and she is so, so happy. No husband, no kids, not much family, but she has meaningful purpose every day. And she joined a church, and uses her money to travel with a museum group, through which she's met a lot of people, including a man she's begun dating. You have to move out of your circles, comfortable as they may be, OP, and find something new to occupy you. It's hard, I know. I'm transforming my life right now, and I've never been happier, even though it's a huge struggle. Good luck! [/quote]
