I am so thankful (at 76) for three sons (one that lives with me, one that is just a beckon away, and one that gives attention from afar), a ready Sis, a couple of great DIL's, lots of grandchildren to send love my way.  But, I know how hard it is to feel all alone.  My uncle lived much the way you describe until he was 95.  His wife had died years before.  He had no children.  Every friend of his generation had preceded him in passing.  We visited him often, but it was so hard for him.
