Just feeling lonely

Hi I've just joined. I lost my husband 15 months ago. It was very sudden, still trying to sought it out.


My daughter lives with me as the houses are so expensive here, but she told me she is leaving at the end of the year. I'm glad for her.


I'm in my 70 but in good health but I've had a hip op so not running about.


Hope to hear from someone soon

Hello: I'm here for the first time. I have a new situation of lonliness as my husband prefers to be alone all day and night. He is a esophageal cancer survivor. Is there anyone out there that can relate?

So sorry for your loss. I am also 70. Divorced since 2008 after 34 years of marriage. Lost my dearest sister who loved me unconditionally and took care of me as a mother would. So I am sad and depressed. Have not done anything since we put her to rest two weeks ago. I feel isolated and unproductive. I have this overwhelming need to reach out and just chat with someone. I would appreciate all gestures of friendship from anyone.

Hang in there and take care of yourself.

Hello Joy, I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling so sad after losing your sister. You can chat to me if you wish. I am now living on my own and it can be so lonely at times. I'm trying to keep focused and busy. My daughters are busy with their lives but do see me or contact me. And I have a few friends in a walking group I belong to.
