I don't know the answer...I've noticed some of my entrys are unavailable so, my sugestion to you is to print them out as you go, that way you will have a hard copy and can reread whenever you like.

Your journal is safe, you get to keep it. You can also upload photos if you want.
You are not alone in how you feel, we will all walk with you.

you can just copy and paste as you go to a word file if you want to keep every entry.

Thank you for replying to me, you have answered some questions. Why don't more people answer me about being lonely. Is lonely not a feeling being answered possibly because of alcohol?

I think being lonely we all understand too well.. and sometimes replying to someones question about it makes us realize we are also lonely.
I didn't reply about it because I thought the journal writing might be important to you right now.
You aren't alone here, I will listen..just send a message, might take me a little while to answer as i am in Australia.

I am so sorry you are lonely. I find writing helps, good luck with the journal.

I LOSS MY EXHUBBY 3 YEARS AGO AND I STILL MISS HIM.

I think it's hard to face that you are lonely and maybe for some just writing down the words makes them confront it. But have no doubt, there are many of us who are lonely for many different reasons. I lost my Mom a few months ago and I miss her, but when I got divorced in 1999, I lost all my friends because I divorced my husband of 25 years. Most of my friends were from my church and divorce is just taboo I guess. But they did not live with his abuse and rage and alcoholism. Now, I'm so busy taking care of my disabled daughter and working fulltime, there just isn't time to make new friends or go out, or date. I feel lonely alot. You're not alone in that.
I'm so sorry you lost your husband. Please be careful with the wine. Please know you're not alone, many of us are lonely. That's one of the reasons we are all here.
I wish you better times and healing. Be kind to yourself.
Hugs,
Donna

Hi My name is Diane.. I am lonely to. and I live with a houseful of people.. I think we all feel lonely at one time or another,This is a good place to talk and share..I will be loosing my Mother and hubby soon.. I am the caregiver to both.. Please feel free to write anytime you feel lonely.. Love D

I am sorry you feel lonely. And I am sorry for your loss. I still have my husband of 14 years, but I also feel lonely. I have no friends. I know a lot of people but no one to rely on. Just God,Me,myself and I!!!! I do have a pretty good husband, most of the time. He will give me anything I want but he doesn't know how to show love. I know he loves me,but .... Anyway, Just know you are loved. I don't even know you and I LOVE YOU!!!!!

I am so sorry for your loss. Make new friends!! It helps so much. I also feel so very alone but not all the time now. I'm sure it's natural. I also joined a grief group that helped me a lot. I try to keep busy and that also helps. I read a lot and joining this sight has helped. Just knowing that I am not alone with some of my feelings. Knowing I am of the norm is a good thing. I seriously thought I'd lose my mind.

Dear Alma -
My condolences on the loss of your husband.
My biggest concern is that you've found what may be the wrong replacement. If you're drinking alot of wine now, what seems like a temporary fix could end up a permanent problem.

Please come here often. Put down one glass and post here instead.

I don't think there's any rule on journals but I'm relatively new here myself.
Take care!

I'm really lonely and prolly more so due to the time of the year. Lost my hub and his bday was day before halloween... then thanksgiving and christmas to look forward to. Hard to face...

Thank you for your input. I feel good that there are people out there that can help me. Sometimes it still is hard to believe that my husband is gone. Thank you again.

I am sorry.. I haven't been on this part of DS for a while. I have been focussing on the SI/depression part as it becoming a huge part of my life right now. Been feeling really down & having a hard time. My boyfriend died 5-1/2 years ago... I too wish I had found a place like this long ago. *hugs* *prayers*
