Change -Affects men as well as women
Do something the same way for a long time -some less than ten years- and it gets hard to accept change.
Saw it with men when they lost their tennage hunting buddies. Some move away; you moved, marriage changed some.
I would have quit thirty years ago if I absolutely needed buddies.
Had one relative quit who lost his buddies, and the farm they use to hunt. His children were all raised and away. He couldn't take to change.
Saw it with a fishing hole. Fellows were there every week. Got over an injury, so I started looking for new places. Old place would eventually change and be gone.
Went back two year later. The fishing hole had changed. All were gone. I moved on to the new areas on the river I had found. They just left.
Change, it usually comes to everyone.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss.
As far as hunting alone goes, I do it all the time. None of my friends like to hunt, and sometimes I just want to go out with someone, but other times its very soothing to go out, watch the sunset/rise. Not only that but you can have the best scent control ever, and if the person you're with just smoked a cigarette, they can bring you down if the wind isn't right, or shifts. It depends on what you enjoy the most about hunting. The social aspect or the thrill of it all. But if you just enjoy the sport, you should just make yourself get up and go.
And not to get all weird, but it sounds like he would want you to continue doing it if you love it. GOOD LUCK!
