Suz: My mom went through this. The married couples mostly felt threatened by her as a newly single person. She was, therefore, left out, socially. My Dad divorced her and then she married again to a man who was twice divorced, not popular with anyone, he died, she's now married again to a man who, it does not appear, to want anything to do with her family. When I was young and single, no couples ever invited me anywhere. As soon as I started dating ex, we suddenly got invited out by couples at work. I got divorced 21 yrs. later and kept, luckily, some of my single friends and didn't move - didn't want to. Mom's in FL, too, went there with 2nd hubby (3 hurricaines and toxic algae later). I know someone who joined a "meet up" group to socialize. I have single friends who are closer to their "Church family" than their own. I joined senior Yoga and a low cost health club and met many single ladies. These are just some ideas. Best wishes. I hope you can get home to PA eventually.
