Hi Soulsearch, thanks for your reply. Don’t feel alone or like you have no-one talk to. Everyone has lost someone in some kind of way, its not easy but you’ve got to remember the good times and the memories which live on. I’m really sorry you don’t have anyone you feel that you can turn to. Opening up to someone does make it easier, from my own experience with losing my Grand father. People will understand and listen to you. Remember, its never too late to start a friendship or make new friends. Joining a local gym or club may help, my partner joined a Rotary Club which is an organisation based in almost every town in the world. They hold weekly meetings and lunches, which bring people together through raising money for charities and general good causes. I went to one of these events about a year or so ago with my partner, and was really surprised with how many people were there and how easy they were to socialise with. Why don’t you give this a go and let me know how you get on? Here is a link which will take you to their website https://www.rotary.org
I hope it works out. Maybe you should post your story in the forum. I think as this is a new site as more people discover it, it will bring many more people together from all over the world from different backgrounds. Best Wishes, Francesca.
