After a 22 year relationship with my partner, he died suddenly, and at 50 yo I found myself an OLD gay single man starting over in Life. At the same time, i was diagnosed with cancer, and found my job was ending as the company was failing. So a Tri-fecta for me. What to do? Have faith and stay positive, BUT you need to do something. Thru networking, I found a new job thru a reference, tended to my health issues, and after a long mourning period started to socialize, althought I am still single now 11 years later....And keep in mind, I have NO family left so was all on my own with nO help from anyone anywhere... YES, its tuff, but what is the alternative? you have to keep going....
