Overwhelmed and angry

Posted on 06/15/09, 08:39 pm
I have been a widow for 14months now and I had not idea of what it would be like to live totally on my own. I am now responsible for all financial decisions and car maintenance, etc. Some days I struggle to get through and put up a positive front, and it really isn't the way I feel at all. This new life is overwhelming. There is so much to do by myself. Also, I am so very afraid of being alone at night. I sleep with the lights on, inside and outside of the house. I have a dog, which is of some comfort to me. I am 73 years old and there just doesn't seem to be any meaning to life. Sorry to dump on the group, but I am so alone.
