Welcome to the group!

Are you saying you don't have any friends or family who support you?

I am an older person who has no family living near me but I have myself and that makes me happy but I reach out to friends online and it gives me a feeling of being connected to another human being.

Welcome! Yes I know the isolation very well. AND to have a tragedy attached to it is even worse. God bless you, my friend, I'll keep you in my prayers. You need something good to happen and to be around people. Isolation from COVID is horrible.

I’ve tried to offset the isolation with walks around the block daily. I don’t normally initiate conversations, but I now ask anyone sitting on their porch “how they are holding up”......that is how I get my human “fix”.....and then sometimes I just let the emotions out during my walk knowing I have my sunglasses on.

I have lost a lifelong friend during COVID and was not able to say goodbye.....while she was not my Mom, I had to turn to my faith and know that she is now safe with God.

There are answers out there for you too, just keep reaching out and we will get through this.

Hugs!

I'm so sorry about your mom. I lost my dad last fall and still feeling pretty bad. The quarantine just amplifies it. But I do have some great friends. Without them I would be in world of hurt. Do you have any family or friends to lean on?

I am so sorry for what you are going through. You are not alone, though I am sure you feel that way. Is there any way for you to get out of the house? I am trying to take a walk like someone else said. Normally I never said a word if I saw someone, but now I am actually speaking to people on the street. I hope you find a way out.

It's somewhat weird because this does not bother me. I enjoy reading, my work turned out to be a little easier because I do not need to come in the office. Overall I learned there's enough tough things in life, if you can deal with something that's good. I am pretty careful about contact and fortunately have not gotten the virus.

I agree the isolation is very restrictive and confining. It has lead to an increase of anxiety and depression for me. I am sorry for your loss and difficulties. I hope that you begin to feel better and that the pandemic goes away sooner rather than later. Best regards.

I am sorry your mom passed away...i cant even imagine what I will do when my parrents pass..i know it will be very soon for my dad...i try to prepare but can you really prepare for that....we are here for you.

I am thinking of you with a warm heart. I wish there was more I could to be a friend.

Its hard is socialise with others, but at least we can call family members and talk to them. We are at the stage where we can visit them, but we have to take safety precautions.
