Loneliness

Archive notice: This is a historical post from Mary’s years of blogging. Some older posts may mention products, courses or shop items that are no longer available, as Mary now focuses her time and energy on supporting widows inside her private Facebook community. The guidance and stories remain here as a free resource for widows.
For current ways to connect with Mary’s work, you can:
I use to be like a dog chasing it’s tail – grief, sadness, anger, loneliness, happy, confused and back to grief. I was unbalanced, like a stool without all it’s legs.
The greatest thing in the world is to have someone exclusively for your own – to love, to trust and to honor. The loss of that person leaves an emptiness in our lives. Sometimes, during busy hours one can forget the pain of loneliness. Then something , anything, brings it flooding back. That feeling of isolation and detachment can strike even in the middle of a crowd.
The best way to handle loneliness is to get out with friends and family. Join some new groups or volunteer on the weekends. Anything is better then sitting home by yourself.
