I learned a lot about my own Grief experiences researching the difference between Loneliness and being Alone with my Grief. Let me know in the comments below if the same is true for you! 🙏🏻
If you would like to learn more about the ways we could work together tell me where to send the information.

Sometimes it's difficult to explain what I need to others when I don't even know. I don't want to be alone all of the time, but I don't want to be a burden either. Sometimes I just need a hug or someone who is okay with just being present or willing to listen. I don't ask for much. I guess they're not used to me asking for anything. I just don't know. I don't feel like I belong anywhere anymore.

I watched him suffer, I saw him die but all I was able to do was sit close by. All I want is to hold him one more time. God eased his pain but broke my heart. This grief and anxiety is so real!

I know exactly why my grief is "lonely". After I lost my wife, I got sick and tired of all the fake sympathy. It was like a slap in the face every time. So I quit talking to everybody. After 4 years I am still grieving, but I have learned the difference between lonely and alone. And I'm much happier alone.

I wish I had at least a few supportive friends and family.

Yes. Very lonely. And people don’t even try. It becomes more about people saying. Oh they just don’t know
what to do or say so they do nothing or that people are just busy in their own lives. Like it’s my responsibility to be on top of and understand others struggle and lack of care of my grief and losses and they don’t listen or hear when I tell them I feel alone. Why aren’t people even checking on me. Always excuses of others but not hearing me and being there. It’s confusing and I feel it is very unkind and always about them. Hurtful

[edwardianspice]

I feel totally alone. I’ve never been so lonely

One of the problems with modern day society is that people consider you toxic and draining if you're honest about feeling low. I'm very lonely and depressed in my grief and it would help me to have supportive friends, but I've found no friends are willing to listen and be present with me, the way I have been with others. I can't go to a new social group and just cry or feel sad, I'd have to put on a happy act. Society has made it taboo to be anything except positive and happy and I find that achingly sad and lonely in itself.

My wife passed away four weeks ago and I feel so isolated, and know, there is no one coming to rescue me, even though they are present, there is nothing they can do or say to help me.

After sixty-four years together I lost my wonderful wife Judy last July, 2022 as I sat at her bedside at home and watched her die in front of me. She was relaxed and alert to the end. 'I don't know how to die - what do i do? she said. Breast cancer over the the past 12 years had, in a way, prepared us for what was to come ( although we did not quite believe it, as it went on for so long). Within minutes she had breathed her last and my nightmare began. It is now early summer and April 2023 heralds a new beginning which accentuates the devastation of my grief. It is comforting to know I am not alone in my painful grief. My tribute to my Judy is on YouTube (judyv4) - I do feel so sorry for those who mourn - my heart goes out to you.

I feel like a broken piece of glass with a million pieces that will never go together again.

[debbiedrummond]

Grief is such a confusing and changing process. I often feel lonely as my husband and I spent alot of time together and we were best friends. the hard issue for me is the loss and knowing I will never have a relationship like this again.

[rachelseibert]

I do feel very lonely in my grief, I also feel very misunderstood in my grief.

[jennybalsdon]

The loneliness of coming home to nothing. An empty house and hours alone

[katray]

I've suffered a lot of loss. And on one of my very grievous days, I was at a hospital to see a specialist and he gave me bad news and as I was leaving the facility, I realized that I could not find my car. I was so frustrated and alone and I burst into tears. Suddenly, a woman who saw me thru the glass from inside her office ran out to me in the street and just hugged me, and said "Baby, it's gonna be alright". Sometimes that's all it takes.

[dwaynestimpson]

Loneliness isn't from being alone. My loneliness is missing my wife. I have no problem being alone, my issue is being without her! We built a life for 30 years, that can never be filled, ever.

[Otessa-ju]

I have felt and continue to feel both feeling alone and loneliness. Grief is like a python of torture.❤️

[annekebrinkhof]

I feel like people expact me to move on after two years, but I feel frozen in time

[ananunez]
