That's exactly why I haven't gone to any groups - scared of what may happen.
But I recently joined a support group over the internet similar to this one where everyone is in the same predicament. They even have a section for over 50 and moving on - which is where I belong. They have trained moderators in the chat forum who have made me feel so good!
I learned of it from this forum actually and I'll share it for those who are interested:

I am the type who wants to talk to people, but have found that over the internet is easier for me.
