Living with Loss Series: Loneliness

[@WeepingWidowSueAna]

I lost my beloved husband last month and it has been the worst pain and devastation I have ever been through in my whole life... and I have been through a LOT. There is nothing as unbearable as losing the one you love and became one with. It leaves you feeling dead and all of your dreams died along with them.

[@clarencehogrefe1220]

Ann, i totally agree with what you wrote, the Dreams and hopes. Just Everything, God Bless you and your Family.

I lost my husband last summer. The emotional pain was and is unbearable. My husband was my other half. Half of me was torn away.

[@WeepingWidowSueAna]

@@marybutcher9511 I am so sorry Mary. I feel the exact same way. It's like the pain gets worse and worse instead of better. I am so truly sorry that you are going through this too. :(

[@WeepingWidowSueAna]

@@marybutcher9511 I am so, deeply sorry Mary. I feel the pain in your words and I feel the same way. It is just unbearable. My husband was my better half and he was a part of me like no one else has ever been. I feel like my soul has been ripped into pieces. It's just unreal pain. Hard to even breathe most days and the agony is just unable to be described in words. I am truly sorry you are walking this terrible road too.

Lonely in a crowd is exactly what it’s like. Their presence doesn’t make up for the a sense of that person you lost.

[@ladyluck5248]

Losing a spouse you loved dearly leaves a void in your heart that can never be repaired. People say some stupid things too. I think people run away because it’s hard to be a friend to a grieving person. I was abandoned and betrayed. I made new friends who have gone through hardship and they are the best friends not phoney like the others.

[@jchambers5668]

This series is so helpful! Thanks so much!

[@ji5055]

old Jill you poor thing. Tears rolling down my face for you. You're a good daughter. I used to love my grandparents a real lot and I used to help take care of them Till they died. And I added up working in nursing homes where I was around back of grandma's and grandpa's it made me feel a little bit better. Because I feel like they were the only ones that really loved me. I pray and I'll pray for you not to cry if you do. There's nothing worse than that panic a realization. I can't believe I'm still here. I won't be able to stay on this channel because my heart is breaking more for everyone here who suffers. There's a song by Mara Justine called the Sparrow I know he watches me. I listen to that and I feel better. Maybe you can find it too. The only peace I get is knowing that my family is with Jesus. So I know they're safe. And I know that I will see them again because of Dr Chuck Missler explaining heaven. I disappear from the face of the planet when I'm scared. And I shut people out and I don't even go outside. I know how you feel about feeling lost. I have dreams that I get to visit my father again at that I wake up and I wish it was true. Are we have is prayer with that nothing to lose. I pray for peace I pray for my sanity I pray for me to have enough money to support myself and God definitely is taking care of me I got my Social Security disability because of my bad migraines and blindness and asthma. But it's no fun anymore here. The way that man talks about heaven sounds like Hawaii and I like the part where there's no more sorrow or tears. I'm sending you a hug and know that someone out there on the other side of the world is praying for you to smile. And do your favorite things and look pretty and get your nails done. Hugs

I feel very much abandoned and alone since losing my adopted mom just before Christmas and it’s hit me like a ton of bricks. 💔 I used to love Christmas no longer it is one of the most painful indeed reminders of losing my mom and not having much biological family. To go from being abandoned by my biological mom, to losing my dad as a teen, now the only mother I’ve known, the mother I never had is gone.😥😔😰 People get tired or feel burdened by you, because you don’t feel how they think you should. The stigma of grief I feel that even more heart wrenching or lonesome I wish and feel like oftentimes lately simply disappearing.😪 My sincerest condolences to you, @Angie along with you as well @Carol I’m sincerely sorry for your losses, grief can feel very much isolating in such a fast paced society and world that at times the people in it can be desensitizing and cause the stigma of grief even more.🥀 I still have days I can’t even leave the bed or want to interact with others like I’d rather suffer in silence. My faith and personal relationship with God has even been somewhat damaged. I don’t understand why my life’s journey has had to be this way, and the amount of holes/unanswered questions even. If God truly loved me or cared for me why so many losses abandoned and lack of parents if not adoption/foster care. I feel that even God, has abandoned me. 😞😔😞 I know my comment is extremely lengthy just being expressive and open as possible.

WE had been together for 36 years and she had a stroke at 63 years of age while taking care of an 87 year old man at his home. She was a caregiver as her occupation. She had the stroke and never survived. So young and I miss her so badly . I would never have thought she would die before me. I'm 70 . God Bless you and anyone going through this! .

Jill Montgomery. I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. I know how hard it is as I lost my husband of 52 years on November 21, 2017. It is a terribly lonely time even though my 2 grown daughters live with me. I knew my husband for 67 years as we were both raised on the same street. He is the only one I have ever dated so the loss is tremendous. I am glad to get through each day as the loneliness is terrible. May the Lord help you through this terrible time.

I came across your comment at the grief of love ones post here on KZbin. ☹️That’s so touching and I know how it feels to be lonely without our love ones, we've all loss our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I truly understand how you feel cos I’ve felt same hard and terrible experiences before but death is just inevitable no matter how hard we try! And we'll all have to face it someday, and every of our love ones we’ve loss will always want to see us happy again wherever they’re okay. I loss my oldest daughter Annabel February 24th 2020 in a crucial car accident, and she just turned 22 on her last birthday before she got knocked down by a moving vehicle 🚗 and so unlucky for me that horrible day the driver was drunk. That was the worst and most lamenting day of my whole life as a single Dad raising two kid's, my 17 years old son Clark and my 4 legged 🐶 families are my everything and the reason I still keep strong, and keep going! My late wife passed away three years ago from a shocking disease, I felt devastated with grief, and I was so heartbroken 💔 but God and time are indeed the best healers. Hope you’ve found peace, comfort and happiness again?

[@katec9893]

I lost my father, five aunties and uncles, my wonderful volunteer job that helped me manage depression, and my fantastic, beloved cat who was my best friend and daily companion, in the space of a year and a half. I've never felt so lost in life, I feel so disorientated. I don't have a partner or any children. The life I had, a lot of it has crumbled away. I'm struggling with depression, loneliness and motivation to keep going. I was coping well with everything until my cat died because she was an incredible soul and she helped me to cope with all the other losses. I'm grateful for this KZbin channel, I'm finding it one of the few channels that really understand grief.

[@carmenburnham1088]

Lost my husband to a sudden heart attack 22 months ago after 41 years of marriage. The first year was very hard. I miss him so much. I have been ok being alone. I miss his presence. He was bigger than life to me. My hero. Thank God, He has brought me this far. Thank you for these series. God bless you. So wondering where you are today? Did you never marry again? I will never remarry. No one can take my husband’s place. But I have noticed men often remarry. And maybe younger widows. My heart goes out to those who have young children to take car of.

Thank you again for this series. It did help during my darkest days. For anyone suffering the loss of a loved one, I know the pain and have the deepest compassion for you. Try not to be alone. Pray for the Lord’s help and grace. Invite Him into your pain. He will walk with you. Find a group or support system. My church has a grief share group for people who have suffered loss. You don’t get over it you continue to walk through it. It is 4/12 years now and I am doing so much better. I still miss my husband deeply. At 72 I am very content with my busy life have a very active life with friends but I am not interested in a relationship at all. However, to each his or her own. Life after loss is possible.

hello Gabkoost...looks like you made this comment 4 years ago. I want to introduce you to my Savior Jesus Christ. He loves you dearly because He died on the cross for your sins and mine because He wants to have a relationship with u s. He can be your faithful friend to the end. Call His name today and He will come and forgive your sins and walk with you. He is coming back soon to take us people to heaven. You will go to if you ask Him into your heart. I hope you do.

If you are lucky enough to have family close by the loneliness is minimal. But if you have no children or family then the grief and loneliness is long and very difficult. I found that living in a foreign country very few people stand up and help you. Some even abandon you because they don't want to hear you. Take heart, Jesus Christ isn't going to abandon you ever.

And we'll all have to face it someday, and every of our love ones we’ve loss will always want to see us happy again wherever they’re okay. I loss my oldest daughter Annabel February 24th 2020 in a crucial car accident, and she just turned 22 on her last birthday before she got knocked down by a moving vehicle 🚗 and so unlucky for me that horrible day the driver was drunk. That was the worst and most lamenting day of my whole life as a single Dad raising two kid's, my 17 years old son Clark and my 4 legged 🐶 families are my everything and the reason I still keep strong, and keep going! My late wife passed away three years ago from a shocking disease, I felt devastated with grief, and I was so heartbroken 💔 but God and time are indeed the best healers. Hope you’ve found peace, comfort and happiness again?

BEREAVEMENT & LONELYNESS. NO ADVICE on this thread will ever solve the problem. People are't stupid. Do you not think they've searched in their own minds what they could do to combat their lonelyness? You could have a dozen friends during the day. Even go to a shitty clicky club once a week. BUT its late evenings. Early morning's where the one you were closest to is missing. No one to have casual conversation with knowing they were once some where in the house and in my case somewhere in my heart. Painfully this situation is insoluble. You cannot escape it. It's there for the rest of your life. That's the price we have to pay for loving some one. It's a measurement of the love and commitment we gave to our soul mate before they were taken. Theres a wise Saying. " No one can teach anybody anything. People have to decide to learn.".

@Hello Geof how are you doing?

[@nania992]

Thank you .. very much.

[@gailcrowe727]

Very well said.

People really do say ignorant things in a desperate attempt to try to somehow create a silver lining for us and it often doesn't resonate. For example when people told him at least he has his boys and he won't be lonely. How naive and ignorant for someone to say that and not realize there is a complete difference between the love of a father and his children and the love between his wife and himself. A child can never replace a spouse.

Dr Phil. I lost my partner of 27 years suddenly 2 weeks ago and I feel like I’ll never get through this. We was 100 percent dependent on him. I probably shouldn’t have done that but I did. I’m having problems letting people help me and I can’t speak to people because I literally can’t stop crying. I want to be with Steve so badly. I can’t imagine this getting better. Your thoughts?

I lost my wife in June 2022 but my grieving is different. She had MS for 26 years. We were married 51 years and she could not ambulate the last 15 years. I cared for her for 23 years. But I have already adjusted to living alone these last three years when she was in a local nursing home. Its really good she isn't suffering anymore. I have very few friends and I see very little of my family even though they live fairly close. There are other reasons why I have so few friends that is not of my doing.

[@adriennevanstaden9460]

Yes a very new experience with loss.

[@dawncordero7760]

Thank you so much for these comforting and informative videos, and grief and loss. I find such comfort inn the way you present what you went through and how you came to terms with certain things. So I just want to thank you for that because you helped me tremendously. I love watching all your videos. God bless.🙏🥰

[@joanneg665]

Sending you love throughout this pain. Your video is comforting thank you 💜

Between Christmas and New Years and around Mothers Day are the worst firbmr. Since losing mom 3 years ago, new years, which was her birthday hurts a lot. Since she was the first baby born the year she was born,, she was born exactly at 12am Jan 1. There's no one to call and say happy new birthday year mom. My husband died may 8 2007 which was a mother's day weekend, buried may 11. My dad died may 11, yet another mother's day 2 years later. There are many hard days but these are the few that knock me lower than a snakes belly. I don't want to get up, eat, I just want to go to sleep and stay asleep, forever. But here I am, tomorrow's new years eve, covid-19 is running wild and I'm locked in my room in the nursing home, lonely as heck.

TAKE YOURSELF OUT. I TAKE MYSELF OUT. I LOVE IT. GOD LOVES ME AND YOU. I HAD 4 DEATHS MY FAMILY. MY FAVORITE BROTHER FIRST in 1994 AND THEN MY FAVORITE GRAND MA in 2006 THEN MY DAD in 2014 THEN NOW IN JULY 2019 MY MOM. Jesus is helping me threw the Grief. One day at a time.

[@icyivy2424]

That's too much pain 😥😥😥 I'm so sorry for your loss. I've lost my mother in 2005... I was a teenager, it completely destroyed me, I developed clinical depression... I still grief... Life didn't get any better Stay strong Keep fighting though the day I wish you healing and peace

[@latkagravas986]

Elizabeth, you caught my eye with prior death/grief experiences of family various times and mention of God - I have the same of those experiences, but Ive paused from God after that day - for my Marie passing 3/11, was my sweet loving Girlfriend whom was like a wife (for 6yrs), and I notice now at 52(my age) - Im taking this MUCH HARDER...so much so, Im thinking bad thoughts...So I guess Im trying to say now is 'im in my conflicted grief" now and I dont see him helping me now on this 2nd stage. I welcome any reply. Thank you. 😢

[@marynelltitshaw7866]

Don't allinate your self from the only one who can help you. You must surrender ALL to the one who loves you most. Jesus Christ loves you so much that he gave His for your salvation. He and He alone can give you life, both now and for eternity. Make the choice to live and not die. It's your decision. Jesus never fails.

[@ELizabeth_Beeza]

Is it really a matter of overcoming... if one is dying and they are surrounded by the living there is loneliness there for the living cannot as of yet relate... and there is an understanding that it is natural and be with this observation.
