Sad and lonely

I am feeling so low today. I had my flu and Covid jabs yesterday which I was pleased to get done but by yesterday evening I was feeling shivery and achy. Dosed up I slept but felt very wobbly this morning so slept a few more hours. Feeling better I got up and prepared my lunch and dinner. It’s rained all day today and not getting out as I usually would has really brought me down. I normally go to church but couldn’t as I was unwell and I’ve missed seeing anyone today. My youngest grown up daughter has had no contact with me for four weeks since we had a family holiday together when she just kept verbally attacking me. I miss my husband so much, it’s six months since he died after a long battle with cancer and my daughters behaviour has broken my heart all over again. Friends say I’ve done so well as I do get out and socialise, keep active and volunteer all of which help greatly but days like today I just feel so sad and hopeless.

Oh @HV33 I’m so sorry for your loss.

I know it’s so hard being unwell and no one there to look after you.
I had it myself last week

I hope you feel better soon

Take care

You’re doing brilliantly mama. As someone with a parent who has a progressive brain disease (MS) has almost lost my mother 3 times due to it I have in the past lashed out and been so angry at the world so perhaps this is just the grief that is coming out of her. Not that it makes it okay for her to be horrible to you!! Especially when you are dealing with the loss of your husband, yes she has lost her dad but she’s not the only one grieving. I’m hoping things get better for you sweetheart I’m so sorry for your loss xxxx

Being lonely is one of the worst things ever.You can still have people around you and still feel lonely.

Yes I agree.

There’s nothing so lonely as feeling alone in a room full of people

I’m lucky I have family and many friends who are very supportive and I keep as busy as I can but yes it can be lonely in a crowded room. I’m feeling better, my side effects wore off and I got out to meet friends and took a walk yesterday. I find getting out does me good.

Hi @HV33

I’m glad you’re feeling better
It’s good that you have support from family and friends.
I do too

But the understanding and support on this forum is invaluable, because we all know we all really understand.

Love and hugs
