I am finding the loneliness unbearable. I am trying to volunteer with no success as there isn’t much here at the moment. Has anyone managed to find a way to deal with this miserable feeling?

I, too, no longer work as I finished a year ago. I have quite a few interests but tbh nothing really hits the spot. I neither need or want another job but feel I have to find something to get me motivated. No idea what to do about it, so I’m no help to you, sorry!
I do know, though, that there isn’t a thing that can make me really happy any more since he left. Hopefully one day the tide may turn.

We all have to find our way to cope, nothing is right or wrong , I for one just try to keep busy, hobbies are good for the time on your own, I learnt a bit from a group I went to while caring for my Sue…. Mindfulness… while you are concentrating on one thing your mind is occupied and so other thoughts are evaded…. If only for a short period, it helped me. But I don’t think I will ever get over the loneliness and I have a lot of family around me x good luck and keep going forward slowly x

Thank you for your advice. I know about Mindfulness but haven’t tried it. I will try and see if it helps. I have hobbies that I love but they don’t mean what they did when I can’t show my husband as I always did, for his comments. I really need conversation and people around me as that makes me feel happier. Everyone has their own things to attend to so I try not bother them unless I really need to. x
