I was born single, became an orphan at the age of nine, immigrated from a tiny island to a new country at the age of 18yrs all by my lonesome self. I have lived on my own as a single parent, no family & no partner. I worked and took care of my self and my kid, and retired at 60. I did all the things others who had partners and family members did all by myself. I travelled to far away places on my own, I took myself to hospital emergency services and back home all on my own. I am now on my 72 year, still living on my own and living healthy happily. Life is Good!

Living alone is glorious and infinitely better than living with the wrong person.

I've been alone since I was 34; I'm now 86. I'm in charge of the bank account, the TV remote, and the thermostat. I love it! I'm in perfect health, take no prescriptions, no stress.

You can never feel more alone than to live with someone who refuses to communicate! I left my husband because of his indifference towards me. I now live with my two dogs in a very secure village home. It's so nice to be able to do what you want, when you want! Viva being single! 👍😊🇬🇧

I've been alone for 25 years. My Dad always used to say " You are you're own best friend"

[kimlarson]

My mom taught me that if you learn to love to read, you will have a friend for life. Looks like you have lots of friends.

Great video for women. Being without a "man" is not some failure on your part. Being alone does NOT mean you are lonely. Thriving is way better than surviving.

[karlashmeedavlasta]

I often felt lonely even with a partner.
Now I am with myself and have dogs. This is so much fun. No lonelyness, no fear, lots of exercise.

Safety only time my financial, physical, emotional and psychological safety was compromised was at the hands of family Living alone has been safer for me. And don't get too trapped in routines feeling like they give you a false sense of control. My sister and mother were completely OCD with their routines....and control. The one thing I love about living alone is I don't need to set a whole lot of rules and routines for myself. I have the freedom of flexibility.

I had to cut grass for the first time in my life. I was scared of losing an eye from a rock. I just told myself if teenage boys can do it, it can be done. I put some goggles on and got to work.🤗

Recently widowed, I’m still profoundly grieving, about to move to a smaller house, and feeling vulnerable. Watching and listening to you has been such a comfort and inspiration to me, and thank you from the bottom of my broken heart. You’ve given me the courage to learn how to do things my precious husband always did for us, and as I listened I made careful notes of your wonderful and down-to-earth suggestions. Please know that I’ve saved your video and will continue to refer to it as I learn and adjust to being alone. May God bless you for your very valuable help.

My routine is going for a walk everyday pray first

I"ve been alone for 30+ years after being married for 28. It has taken time to adjust to the fact that I have to take out the trash. I am glad i live in an apartment so all maintenence is taken care of for me. Sometimes i wish i had a hubby again and then i slap myself, count my blessings and get on my knees and thank God I am alone. I had houses for a time and a drill and ladder. At 44 started my own business. Retired at 64 and am 79 now. Thankful for the gift of life. Faith in Christ saw me through. Can"t thank Him enough.

LIBRARIES !! visit as often as you can.. its not just book, they have computer classes, exercise classes, book clubs, social events, volunteer opportunities, free movies weekly, tax preparation, senior resources and events, games and knitting circles...i love the library

[andersdottir]

If you can colour-in in a colouring book, you can paint your house…outside and inside.
During the pandemic I bought a good light adjustable ladder and 10 litres of paint and painted my entire house…at 60.
It’s easy, it takes longer than a professional painter but it doesn’t matter.
I saved $20, 000 by painting my house myself.

I have lived alone now for 14 years since my husband passed. We were together 43 years. I am thankful to my parents who prepared me to be self sufficient. At the age of 3 my father put a hammer and some nails in my hand and had me hammer them into a board. He had me watch him repair a toaster, fix a plug, and wire a outlet. At the age of 8 I helped him build a cinderblock garage and shingle the roof. They taught me how to grow a garden and my mother taught me how to bake, cook, can, freeze, and make jam. I learned to sew and for years made my own clothes and I learned to knit and crochet. While we were married my husband had me keep a budget and pay all the bills. When the time came to be alone I was well prepared. It more than likely will happened to every one at some point in their life so the key is to learn things now and prepare for the inevitable. A friend of mine who divorced early in her marriage started to volunteer with habitat for humanity. She now can build anything. There are even homes that are built entirely by women.

I was widowed at 24, I raised my children, moved out of the country for 15 years. I’m back now, I like living alone. It is quiet and peaceful. All my choices are mine alone.

All good information ~ if I may add, I keep my home clean and maintained for myself, decorate for holidays for myself, hang seasonal wreaths and put pillows on my porch bench for myself, I stock tasty things to eat and drink for myself and eat off of nice plates and drink from coffee mugs with no chips and nice stem ware - basically treat myself as I would any guest with love and respect for my comfort. I am no waiting for the next thing to happen ~ it is happening everyday - Me!
On the flip side, I know no One is coming to rescue me from a back up sink, noisy neighbor or broken doorlock - it's on me to get recommendations for local vendors, fight my own battles, have emergency funds available and a wet/dry shop vac plus tools ready for service.

I lost my life partner two years ago and moved up to WA state to be near my daughter. The plan was to put an ADU on her property and I would help around the farm. Long story short, that did not happen. I now find myself living alone for the first time in a new place at the age of 65 😲. I've tried making friends by volunteering, etc. but not much luck so far. I was feeling so lost, BUT when you mentioned "how to workshops" at Home Depot, etc. I got excited! I could meet new people AND learn much needed new skills!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 😀

I got divorced about 15 years ago. For me it was a lot easier than hoping my slacker husband would ever help me with anything outside him going to work. He would always tell me he would do it later, knowing full well he had no intention.
I learned to do all the “man’s work” myself as a result.
I went to work, did all the child raising, all the cleaning, yard work, shopping, cooking, then started working on the car etc.
The stress of the resentment over what he wasn’t doing was great. I thought it would be hard, being alone, but I just knew it was all on me, and it really always had been.
Letting go of the expectation of help was the healthiest thing that could have happened to me.
We had taken our kids camping a few times and felt afraid, afraid of wild animals, afraid of humans more.
After the divorce I took my kids alone, and you know what? I wasn’t afraid. I had been afraid because he was afraid. He even brought a gun and I didn’t. Being alone can be uncomfortable and scary at times, yes it can be hard, but also we are stronger than we believe we are. ❤
