Hi, I’m so sorry you feel like this , but totally understand . It’s over two years since my husband died, and I have found this site to be a lifeline for me . I know what you mean, when you need someone to just chat to and it doesn’t seem to happen . It’s soul destroying especially when we are so vulnerable, please keep trying , sending a hug .xtake carex

I think eventually if you find like minded people in one conversation “stream” they keep adding to it regularly like one long whatsapp stream, or some people message each other directly within the site. It is tricky as so many people are adding new posts all the time. Id suggest as well as adding new posts, browse thru some of the existing conversations and if there is one with like minded people see if you can add to that

I’ve also noticed that. Like Ally said, most of the chats seem to happen in the long threads. There are different ones depending on your relationship to the one you’ve lost. No one will mind if you jump in, everyone is really welcoming.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your wife…it’s still very early days for you. There are lots of threads on here that you can join in with… have a look at threads of loss partners. Lots of people losing their love ones, soulmates. Also it can be hit and miss on here as well as some people might not come on here daily. Hopefully you will get to speak to people on here and get support as this site has been my life saver. Big hugs xx

@Westgoughton I agree, this site is generally not ideal if you’re looking for immediate response. However by checking in regularly you can read and respond to other posts sharing your experiences and thoughts. When you have something longer to share, even the very act of writing it down can be helpful. Sending you best wishes xx
