I live alone, am 68 and literally feel like I'm dying inside from loneliness. My kids and grandkids come to visit, I have wonderful friends in my neighbors, but I know that every day begins and ends alone. People can't be here every day, they have their lives to live. No matter what I do, who I see, where I go etc, living alone is very, very painful for me. I NEVER EVER eat at my table, I can't stand seeing the empty chairs around me everyday. I walk around in my house wishing there was someone there to talk to, laugh with, cry with, to snuggle up to, to be hugged by, just do every day things with. I've lived alone for 5 1/2 years now and I'm falling apart inside. If it weren't for my little dog, I think I'd go insane. I pray every day for God to bring a wonderful man to me to share my life with. After 22 years of marriage, raising 5 children and then having to divorce him because he couldn't fight his drug addiction that he got into in the last 6 years of our marriage, and then he committed suicide after our divorce, l am lost and broken by loneliness. God help me please, it's getting to where facing another day alone is a living nightmare and unbearable.
