Never felt so alone
This feeling is so much bigger than being lonely - it is being alone, even when with others. Big decisions to make and voice-mails to leave messages on, texts to press send, and responses that say "I really want to talk to you, but I have blah, blah, blah." I feel like crap.

Yes, it is a terrible feeling. You feel like you are in a glass tunnel totally isolated from the world. You can see them and are vaguely aware of them but the hold no importance to you. It gets better but it takes time. Be gentle with yourself and take time to take care of yourself.

Val,
Thank you. I am just shy of a year of mourning for my husband. I do feel better, yet this profound \"all alone in the world feeling\" is so disturbing. I know what complicates it is that I am the sole guardian of my 2 year old grandson, and the idea of raising him alone is daunting and gives me little time for myself. I know the lonely feeling would still be here and I wish I could move past this.
