Dearest @PintoBean I am so sorry you are dealing with a deep sense of loneliness and melancholy.
I hope you take heart knowing you have come so far from the darkest days. Losing your husband is (one of) the most traumatic thing(s) that can happen in life and you are dealing with it one day at a time with grace and strength and humor and courage. I admire you in so many ways. You are starting your new beginning and doing it so well even if it doesn't seem like it at the moment. You are handing it with such strength.
I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and sending you lots of hugs and love.

“Time does not bring relief; you all have lied”
BY EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY
Time does not bring relief; you all have lied
Who told me time would ease me of my pain!
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;
I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
The old snows melt from every mountain-side,
And last year’s leaves are smoke in every lane;
But last year’s bitter loving must remain
Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide.
There are a hundred places where I fear
To go,—so with his memory they brim.
And entering with relief some quiet place
Where never fell his foot or shone his face
I say, “There is no memory of him here!”
And so stand stricken, so remembering him.
I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and sending you lots of hugs and love.
