Loneliness Support Group
Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any...
I guess as another weekend alone looms over my head i'm feeling a loss of hope in happiness. I feel very alone and my future looks bleak and I dont see the light at the end of the tunnel. I dont have family, my boyfriend happens to be uncaring unloving and unavailable when i need him. Just like my family, but, I can say, my friends are always there for me, for that i'm thankful. But as far as daily, or even on weekends most of my time is spent alone. Either by choice or chance, and i am wanting someone to come into my life and fill that void. I want to feel happiness again, i want to laugh again, i want to be excited about something i'm going to do. i want all the people i was really close to in my life to reappear from the dead and be here with me. I am going now, i wish this group had a real group, where we could actually share and talk about lonliness and dispair with others who can relate.
It wasn't too long after that I became friends with some of my neighbors and we formed a Mom group. Women from other neighborhoods joined our group and I think we ended up with about 11 women in the group.
Each of us enjoyed a hobby, mine at the time was needlepoint, other women knitted and one woman loved quiliting.
We started hosting in home meetings once a week and each week one of the members would host the group for the day. Each of us brought our craft to the group and we would needlepoint, knit, embroider or whatever was our passion at the time. The hostess prepared the lunch and we had such a wonderful time getting to know each other.
We talked about our families, politics, faith and also things that brought us happiness and joy. This informal group of women came from diverse background but we had so much fun together and I don't remember ever laughing so much.
Maybe you can start a group of your own. It could be a book club or whatever floats your boat.
Good luck to you.
