I read something today:
How can you truly know what it’s like to be alone until you have felt complete?

We are two of a kind, I never imagined myself in this situation having had a busy life with my husband of sixty years. I have no words of comfort to offer, no answer to the misery and loneliness except to say, I know how it feels and it is bloody awful x

I am alone and no longer socialise with anyone except on line. My dog and the fact that I am lucky enough to have a home and a garden keep me going. The misery and loneliness do overwhelm me at times which is understandable after 60 years of marriage. I think I can’t go on, but I do go on and must therefore try and make the best of it. We here on this topic are united by our situation and I wish you all well x

It is so lonely how can we socalise. When all we do is cry. I have never been so lonely in my entire life. There seems such little point of carrying on. I hate the quietness of the house. I dont even go to bed i lay on the sofa xxxx

Hard isn’t it ? a home is just a cell really. My only interaction is a few friends and the nurses at the hospital.
Awww bless you Keith i am really dreading the dark nights. Xxx

One of my fostered children died aged 13, and three weeks later I was on the phone to my mother and I got choked up, and her response was " Aren’t you over that yet?"
Just one example of how people respond to other people’s grief.
My partner died two months ago and I am unanchored and dithering.
Not thought about it as of yet, last thing on my mind I guess. The year will almost be over and besides hospital visits, there won’t be much to show for it. I need a break from life, but that isn’t easy either right now for me.
So very sorry.
Sending you a big hug

People and family are sympathetic at first but that doesn’t last long. I am so lonely all the time. I never thought this would be my life. Love and hugs Jo xxxx

We all the same, lost and searching in life. I question a lot of things and I don’t know what my purpose in life is now. You will read or relate to so many post on here. It’s something we all share unfortunately.
