How to combat loneliness

Looking to the future

I have family but when I go home and I close the door I feel so alone and I don’t want to spend the rest of my life feeling like this

Hello, so sorry you are feeling so alone, I completely understand, I am the same way, I have 2 grown children who try to visit or take me out and I appreciate it so much., but as soon as im home especially in the evening I feel so alone :pensive_face: , I was never apart from my husband we were always together, my true love has only been gone for 2 months, I miss him terribly. May God bless you

Hi Bluebell, the loneliness is terrible, after spending our lives with someone who became a living part of us. I try not to think of the future because that’s when it hits you how empty life will be from now on. When I close my door I am on my own and the feeling that takes over of isolation is only made more acute because it is the complete opposite of how things used to be.
I can’t imagine how you feel, the Idea of living with that feeling for so many years is frightening. I hope you find some solace here being able to talk about how you feel with others feeling the same as you.
Wishing you all the best
Tom

Hi Lightmary68 thank you for keeping in touch. I have my good days and bad days but trying to keep occupied I’m thankful for my family as they have helped me. I often think perhaps I should try dating again but not sure I could trust the sites and it feels like a big step to take

Hello bluebell, nice to hear from you, its normal I guess to have those sad days, but ive noticed if I just keep myself busy, im ok, especially if I start out early and go for a walk…I use to walk all the time, im barely starting to again, as painful as it is I have to find a new normal in my life. If you feel ready to start meeting new people, go for it. Take care, keep in touch and may God bless you :folded_hands:
