It's very common, and normal, for people to feel sadness for a period of time after a major loss, whether it's leaving a community, losing a job, getting divorced or other events that involve transition.
I too suggest you talk with your health care provider about your situation. I'd also recommend seeking out resources locally to learn more about your new community and meet your new neighbors. is there a Convention and Visitor's Bureau that provides local information? A Chamber of Commerce or other business group? A group associated with a neighborhood church or other spiritual organization?
I don't know your interests, and what's exactly right for you, but there's bound to be some organizations and activities in your new community that were like those in your prior home. Once you start thinking about one thing like that, it usually leads to thinking of more, and before you know it, you've got a lot of options to consider.
I don't mean in any way to diminish the impact of a major move. I come from a military family and have lived in multiple countries and states, and each move had challenges. But I also found that accepting the move and working to find out more about the new community made the transition a whole lot easier, and a lot more fun and led to new friendships.
Best wishes to you, and let us know how you're doing.
