Give it time
Gosh Diane. I just came across the thread as well and while I didn't read all posts and responses, I still got the jest of it. I'm really sorry you aren't comfortable in your surroundings. Selling a place that you have lived in for so many years is a difficult thing to do. You are leaving behind many memories. I think now that you have transitioned to your new home the best thing to do is find people and things or activities that make you happy and surround yourself with them. I have learned that there are many people both on and off this forum that are just wonderful and probably many in your same shoes. And we all know how many activities you can do here. What did you like to do in your other home where you resided? Did you knit, paint, crochet, bowl, swim? Find that activity and to it here. It will give you an opportunity to meet new friends and do what you like to do. Or, try something different here and start making new memories. It sounds like you already have a lot of friends that you may not even know you had based on the responses on here. Please take advantage of Gracie's offer to go to her house or Kitty's offer to go to hers. I would guess they have broad shoulders and an open ear if you choose to talk to them. Please be willing to open your heart and self to the wonderful community we have here and all that it has to offer. Time heals all wounds.....please give it time.
