Loneliness Support Group

Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation.

I am new to this support group and would like to introduce myself. I have lost several people in my life (friends & relatives) by passing away. Also my kids have all moved out and have lives of their own. My husband - although I love him very much - is not very communicative at all. So many times I just feel lonely.

I am Journaling about my sometimes crazy life in the My Journal section. Feel free to read it whenever you would like. I've written a few entries and plan on writing very frequently so you can check back often. Enjoy!

If you have any tips for me that would be great or if I can help you in anyway. You can contact me or feel free to Chat. I'll be posting my questions at a later time. I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

I think it is pretty common that men don't have the same need or skill for communicating as women. My husband also doesn't provide much companionship.

My best friend just moved out of state. I feel very lonely since she left.

I think many of the people in this group are teens and college-aged. Kind of sad to think they are so lonely at that age.

I too am new to DS and this group. When I have experienced loss it always stuns me. I will think of all the things that person would be worried about knowing they were gone. This process takes at least a week before life reminds me of the here and now. As time goes on many things remind me of certain people, a similar face, mannerisms, a place, a smell and I can smile and enjoy that persons essence again. The closer the person is to me the longer it takes to reach this point, and with the closest, the ones you love the deepest, it is a daily pain that never fades. In time your husband may come to understand. But time is finite and many wait until it's to late. You can use me as an outlet for your feelings, thoughts anything that makes you feel better.

Malacon.
