They are usually free, meet at places like local churches, and you'll meet other people who are also navigating this process of ending one life and starting another. You'll find people to join you for a movie or dinner, and it will help a lot with the lonliness. It will also help you work through the process of healing faster and with some guidance so you learn as much as you can. I regret that when I divorced, I waited 6 years before joining such a group. Yes, there were some people who I didn't connect with or who were too self-absorbed, but I found two true friends and they helped me a great deal.
