Holiday loneliness does suck, over all we are good people to talk to on this site, don't be afraid to chat us up

That's lovely? Talk about any old nonsense. I am sure someone will have an opinion about it!

Glad to see you feeling more upbeat today. I too live alone, my husband died in 2010 after 37 years. It depends on your personality largely how you adjust to living alone but I do think it gets easier. I am fortunate to have always had a large group of female friends and even though most of them are lucky enough to still have their husbands I meet with them for lunch or coffee most weeks. Having in interest or hobby is also a great help, in my case I sing in a choir. You sound like a lovely lady with a lot to offer so get out there and enjoy life!

Loneliness is a mindset....time is a precious gift not to be squandered...even if surfing the web, or "just" listening to music, time is all you have
. I was married for 33 years to someone who was never actually "there"....i Greatly prefer the silence & peace of being alone, instead of wondering why I felt so hollow, and horrible, with that "fine man".

I had hoped your day went well.

This site is great I'm happy you are here!

Happy we could help. Take care!

I know what you mean. This site really helps.

Aww I’m glad you don’t feel as lonely! This community by far and so far is pretty welcoming.
