Barbara, I really feel for you. I can say in my case, I did ok for a while, but then the emptyness really set in & I can't seem to get over it. I do volunteer work just to put in my time at something worth while. It does seen to help in my case. If you aren't ok with doing it, don't push yourself tho. What works for one doesn't always work for another. I'm here if you just want to talk to someone.

Hugs,
Billie
