Hello Liz!
I'm sorry to hear about your mom passing away
There are a few sections around 3FC that you might want to check out. There's the Depression and Weight Loss area, there's a great & very active 50+ group where you can meet with a ton of people your age to chat daily

And you might find others to talk to in the Dieting with Obstacles section due to your disability.
Depending on your food plan, you could also find people under Diet Central following similar plans.
Let us know

We'd all love to help support you!
