Have you ever felt alone when everyone either deserted you or died on you?

[DubiousIntentions]

For instance, your girl/boyfriend ghosted you, or ones you really cared about died? How did you cope, or are you coping with the aloneness?

Big family when I was born. Started dying when I was 9 when dad's cousin died in a fire. Over the last 42 years there's only been 3 when nobody died.

I feel alone at every funeral. I've buried all 4 grandparents, my dad and my brother before I was 28. I got married at 31. My wife's family have had a couple of losses in 20 years. I'm too far from my family to have gone to the funeral of my family members who've passed in the last two decades.

Every call is a piece of who I am dying with them.

I fully expect to outlive everyone except my son. And yes, that's a lonely existence.

[DubiousIntentions]

That is so sad. You must have had a large family then.

[DJB72]

Very big family. We were close as well. It's taken a while but I'm ok with where I am and who it's made me. I can deal with the losses (even though we're not designed to) because I have Faith it's temporary in most cases.

I keep putting one foot in front of the other (metaphorically) and I know sooner or later it'll be ok. So I choose sooner.

One the life has taught me day in and day out is that all good things must come to an end.

[DubiousIntentions]

Except one. But you are right, most things on Earth do.

[coolbreeze]

Yes but I try to make the best out of everything. I hope this new year be better then the last for me and for everybody.

I’ve felt alone.

What comforted me always was to reach out my loved ones.

They are always there for me.

I might not be very attentive but they never fail to be there for me, make me laugh and cheer me up.

I don’t know what I’d do without them.

[DubiousIntentions]

Good to have, so don't take advantage or them.

[Fireguy17]

somehow, I manage to get through it. It just takes time.
Losing my parents was very hard, I worked next to my dad for years, and losing a pet also hits me hard.
Most relationship that have ended were overdo anyway to end, so no surprise there and is some cases I have already mentally moved on so it was very easy, almost a relief that it was finally over.

I returned the favor. If the world insists on turning its back on reason and plunging face-first into insanity, it can do so without me.

I fled a thousand miles across the country.

I listened to that song, "Alone again naturally":v. It's so cool you like it too

[DubiousIntentions]

I haven't heard it in quite a while.

[AmeerX]

Yeah, do try it:)

[LiamJHayden]

Close. My mom died when I was 16 and my dad when I was 19. Thank God for my friends.

[DubiousIntentions]

Both? What happened?

That's why friends are so important.

As an only child I'm accustomed to being alone

[DubiousIntentions]

Being an only child does have some advantages. You are the only one spoiled and are the only heir.

[exitseven]

I made myself not to need anyone.

[DubiousIntentions]

Needing and wanting are two different things.

[KrakenAttackin]

Try going through a brutal divorce.

[DubiousIntentions]

No thanks, I'll pass.
