Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live

radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on

serious xm. Triumph 111. Josh welcome to the program. Thank you, Doctor. First thing I wanted to do

is thank you. My, I'm in my mid-70s. My wife was a little bit younger than that. We were very happily married for 35

years. Unfortunately the last few years of her life she was very sick and I was a primary caregiver and as you know people

tell you g you should find other people to talk to or be with and that type of stuff, find other

companions. Never wanted to do that. And you had a show a long time ago

talking about how a 55-year-old woman

was having the same issue with her 75-year-old

husband

and pointed out that you don't have to do what everyone's

telling you to do. It reinforced my prejudices. I didn't want to do anything else and so I thank you for

reinforcing doing the right thing. Unfortunately she's passed away now and my

second question is well how do I establish a life she's gone for about a year

and you know I just don't really know where to go from there and so I I think we need a new

book from Dr Laura but what do you mean go from there you mean in another

romance in another career yeah in another geographical place oh so you would like

to have another relationship?

I would. Well, then you need to go where people in your age range are that have meetings and in every town there's a newspaper and they have activities.

So you just look up the activities for the week and the weekend

and they always have them for mature adults

or people with little kids. There's always something.
