Being Alone Doesn’t Mean You Have To Be Lonely

Alone is a funny word….it oozes the sense of…well, lone-liness. When you are widowed or suffer a bereavement in the family, you have that painful feeling of being alone.
However, when you think about it, a widow or widower is not alone in the world….they may have lost their partner but that doesn’t mean that you have to be alone. I have even been in relationships when I felt alone!
Key is to understand the difference between losing someone, missing someone and the reality of living in solitude. I know I felt that I didn’t want to see people,
didn’t want to go out…but that was me exluding myself from the love of friends and family. I wasn’t…aren’t….alone. I am surrounded by people who love me and want me to live a long and happy life.
When you feel alone, remember that is missing the person you love. You are not alone, this blog for instance offers friendship to you all
