As you age, you'll lose those close to you. It's not easy, and is certainly more difficult to handle alone. At such times, I've felt that being alone was what was needed. However, regardless of how well I thought I was in control, wise friends, relatives, and especially my wife, knew they had some valuable support to offer. They were right. Their support meant everything.
Welcome any support from a friend, your father, sister, or even us. We're here for you.
