Hello Rose
It's a plesure to meet you and Yes! I know exactly what your talking about.
I'm pretty alone in my life, I thank the lord for my loving husband & my son & his fiance that are all still here for me and love me despite of my chronic illness & disability.
In many ways I blame myself for my loss of contact with others, I was so sick a great deal of the time and they would still call on occaision, but no one really cared that I was sick now and not the person I used to be. I was very close to many of my nieces & nephews and used to do alot of things with them, but as soon as I was unable to baby sit, cook, clean and help them with their own families, I some how became obsolete to them in their lives, so I guess facing the fact that I only meant something to them when I could do for them was a bit heart breaking, but such is life.
I only get out of the house once per week, so I'm really not all that fun to hang around with. I too would be lost with out my faith and I rely on the lords love, exceptance and graces to hold me up, especially when I go through the long days & nights in bed and have nothing to do.
My husband & son bought me a laptop for xmas lastyear and it's been a life saver and kept me interested in most current news & research, treatments, etc for chronic pain & illness. It's also allowed me to make some new friends that understand pain & illness too. They've helped to fill the void of lonliness.
I hope you enjoy yourself and continue meeting new friends around here. There are alot of people such as me who would love to visit with you and exchange emails & such, so your welcome to private message me anytime and please feel free to jump into any conversations in the forum area too.
Hugs
Betty
