Lonely

I'm sorry this is how it is for you. <3 you.

I want you to close your eyes when you pray. Get emotional. As you dream about that which you wish you had, assume its happening see it in your mind love it. Feel it. let the emotions swell and trust in it coming. repeat a few times. Feel it.

It will arrive. no one will help you but you can connect with a very real field that will pull the answer to the need.

God. Magic. Its all the same.

Just go out and have an adventure, You will pick up friends along the way

The more you focus on it. the more if it you will have.

So focus on what you need. And not how much it may suck right now.

I am sorry you are suffering.

The only advice I can offer is to look to God constantly. Pray, and know we must endure.

I wish you the best.

Thank you. I will try this.

I would if I could. I have five years of child raising left and now have my ailing mother. In a few years, I will travel and sleep in tents and see the parts of America that I've always wanted to see but haven't been able to see. I do hope I make some friends when I get out and do this.

Thank you

Or maybe you'll find friends.

focus on wot u have!i shall not want all my needs he meets!

You are loved beyond comprehension. I care about you. I’m so sorry this life hasn’t been kind to you. You will be in my prayers.

You always have a friend on glp.

I’m not convinced the ACs that criticize everything and everyone are even human, so ignore them OP.

I just love my animals as people always let me down. Good luck.

focus on wot u have!i shall not want all my needs he meets!and all good things you may recieve come when they come!from God.

Maybe. Thanks, ScrumpTheTexan.

Lonely is a state of mind, not a state of heart. Look closer.

Start watching vanlife videos on YouTube. So many ladies your age and older living their best lives and making friends online and on the road while having adventures.

Ladybugout and Becoming Bev are two of my favorites.

Dear Lonely,

I think with Covid and changes in our society it is easy to become lonely.

It’s not like our kids live close or our parents are still alive. Getting older I have had good friends pass every year.

There are lots of lonely people in the world who work and come home to rest over and over.

I don’t have any answers other than you really have more people in your boat than you know.

My heart is very sad.

OP, you take care of those who need your help. That's better than friends, and more important.

Thank you! I will go look them up!

It seems by your job, and caring for your mother, you certainly have a large cross as such.

If you are unable to change your job to a care environment say working with other carers for friendships, a home, hospital, elderly, unit, or even in the community in multi occupancy house, sometimes with the time spent working and if looking after your mum, and being isolated for a while, age it can be very difficult to then change things meet new people, we meet friends through freinds, work, school hobbies etc.

If this is how things are, I would seriously depending on the covid situations find some local education classes, invest in yourself if only a few hours a week, or a hobby art, like painting or whatever where it is done locally in the community, and MAKE YOURSELF go give it 1 year, or term at LEAST 3 Months force yourself, and Force yourself to go and ASK OPEN ENDED NON INVASIVE QUESTIONS to at least one new person from there each week, Hi my name is what's your name?"

Hold eye contact smile, and "I enjoyed that I didnt know/ or learnt x, did you like it?"

Simple as.

Just keep doing it to everyone there for a term year, take no sides, get into no cliques, everyone, be impartial, see what happens.

When if a woman of faith you feel lonely, abandoned, alone, cast aside, Offer it up to jesus in prayer, thinking about how he was abandoned even by his apostles who knew who he was.
How his people turned on him, freed barabas after seeing his body scourged within an inch of his life still wanting more, those he had taught and shown miracles to... how we as sinners, go to him ask forgiveness get the ultimate sanctification of his mercy and precious blood, and then abandon him again when we sin.
If you are unlike me, virteous and mainly not commiting mortal sin, offer it up for the conversion of sinners, to console his abandonment, for his agony in the garden.

Meditate on who it was and is constantly by the world especially christians done to him, remember the agony in the garden was, was largely seeing the sins of the world even though he was going to do what he was going to do, and how it would be trampled under foot by so many, including his own sheep, those who came to him.

From shit can come roses as they say.

Pray as well for jesus and the holy spirit to remove your Heart wall, created to protect yourself, but causes shutting of.

If you dont mind I will pray for you, my dear.

May God Bless You

PS it took bravery to admit that on here, it took courage and bravery to get a divorce and leave the bad partners, it takes pataince and caring to do for your family and the person you work with what you do.

You have the resources use them in doing what I suggested if you choose, I am sure it will help you.

You are seen, not invisible.
You are important.

I hope you find healing from your hurt and connect with like minded friends.

If anything heaven will be infinity better than this dump. Just make the best of it, most people suck anyway and are just out for themselves. GEt out in nature as much as you can, appreciate the wind and the sunshine and the rain. Maybe get some pets or something.

At least you got us nut jobs at GLP
I’m in the same boat taking care of elderly parents
and put my life on hold because I was single when
one of them got permanent disability.
Don’t dwell too much because life can always be far worse.

I'm often alone, I don't connect too well with the vast majority. I only have 1 real friend left.

But I don't feel lonely. I actually enjoy being alone.

Sorry to hear you feel sad, OP.

1.) lol

2.) who's fault is that?

if you can't make yourself happy, how can you expect to make others? what you need to do is grab something to eat or drink and click that GLP VC link on the main page and have a blether.

Miss Lonely,

I am single, 68 and live in SC. If by chance you are close I would love to take you to dinner. Let me know.

If you know the Lord you are never alone. Or lonely.

I wouldn't trade what I found for a thousand marriages
