Feeling lonely

[binder]

Lost both my mom and dad in short period of time. I'm the only child. Got married but feel like there is no love, my partner has nothing for me. Feeling very lonely. I think nobody understands me. Just living by supressing my emotions, from outside I pretend to be ok but not ok inside.

Dear binder,

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom and dad in a short period. I know its extremely hard. It is only natural to feel alone when two of the most important people in our lives have passed.

Please know you are not alone. We are here with you. If you want to write more, we are here to listen.

Maybe consider talking to a grief counsellor or joining a support group in the community or through church. Try to lean on trusted friends and family. There are also many online support groups on Facebook. It's worth taking a look when you can.

I've always been the one to keep my emotions inside, but the passing of my parent I was horribly raw. It's okay to let your feelings out. Write it out. Talk it out. Do whatever you need to allow yourself to grieve.

Thinking of you. Sending all my thought and prayers.

Binder,

I am so very sorry.  I too lost my mom and dad close together.  My husband was not a big fan of my parents and when they passed, he just sorta "shrugged it off".  I tried to hide how much that hurt me.  Then, when I finally opened up and told him that I needed him, his dad took a turn for the worse and needed him more.  It is hard to feel alone.  I love my husband more than words can express but it is hard feeling emotionally alone. 

My parents and I were not the closest. I had a rough childhood, so even I was shocked at how hard their deaths have hit me. 

 

I  am so sorry that I don't have more advice, other than I am sorry, feeling alone is awful.  I will be here to listen if you need me.

I forgot to also say, the holding everything in and pretending to be happy is how I tried to cope. However, when my father in law passed away Friday, it hit me all at once.   Please keep talking to us on here and get the emotions out.  We are here to listen.
