Hate to image living life without my spouse. However, I don't think I would move back north. I don't want to live in a large metro area again. For one thing, moving is strenuous and I don't want to deal with it again in my life. For another, I have met and made friends with people here. I do have friends in the city where I'm from but everyone is spread out so far, just visiting is difficult. I keep in touch with them via FB, messenger, emails or phone calls. I can see my friends here by just a walk or in my golf cart or playing golf. We all have old age in common. Our children are all grown and have their own lives. I wouldn't want to impose and make their lives much more difficult. We have a will dividing our possessions among them and they are aware of who gets what. So, God willing, I will stay and deal with the sadness and loneliness. No matter where you are, it's not something you get over, it's just something you get through.
