Family, friends, human interaction are extremely important to all of us, but I think especially to women. Men can be more loners, do the cave man stuff.
I probably can't move here because of lack of work but if I was to stay
I'd recognize that depression would be a process I'd have to go thru until I could develop strong female friendships. Which can take a very very long time. Sort of like growing a tree, you cant force it to hurry up.
Ask your wife to give it more time. Hunker down and get very BUSY with everything this place offers.
The Hilo Cultural Center is going to start having pottery classes. I highly recommend it. There is something very hypnotic about a spinning pottery wheel. Very balancing and grounding.
