So sad you are feeling so down. Perhaps you could try to reunite your family by telling them how you feel or making an event happen. Other suggestion is find a church or a group of your choice and you will find a whole new family of friends. I have my family and a church family and I feel very blessed but you may have to visit a few to find the right one where Gods love flows through.

I can resonate with your feelings. Our family is much the same. Holidays can be rough.

Sorry to hear your feelings of loneliness Alice. I think we all are lonely in some way. Often, siblings separate in marriage, you form your own family, that family also can't be together often. Then the parents leave us. Our own children grow up and separate from the main family. They carry out their own life. It's all happening as a pattern in anyone's life. We have to face the reality. Reality is we are all born to this world as individuals and why can't we maintain that individuality as grown-ups? Why do we have to lament over it? To me being by myself is the best time to think about myself, and bring about the best of me in relationships, in day today tasks, gaining new knowledge etc etc. Being alone gives me happiness to be innovative and creative. I love holidays on my own rather than with family and friends. Too much crowd is restricting my own world, freedom, and the enjoyment. I feel someone can think my thoughts may be a bit strange, but I love it this way. No complaints and I can't be a victim of TIME! Life flows smoothly, no regrets! 🥰

My family is also gone. I try to do extra thing like going to a dine-in theater. Watching a good movie with an something to drink and something eat makes it special even though alone

i must be one of the lucky ones even know both off parents have i still have alot to do with both of my brothers they always been by side when i needed them especially this last 12 months when my marriage of 40 years crumbled my whole family became my village this included my sons and their families nephew nieces brothers n wives i feel very blessed. we all still spend xmas and birthdays with each other and celebrate our grandchildren birthdays aswell

I've lost both my parents now and I feel the same way.

I was possibly lucky to have never had siblings...it often causes you grief it seems..

Just me and my husband. His sons live far away and my son and his family try their best to come by.

I only see my brother mostly and my parents are still alive

Me....

There are groups you could join. The RSL clubs have weekly activities you could join. Having a pet and going out on daily walks is an option. My dog and I go out daily and meet people on the way. This often helps me when I am feeling blue.

Try to do something on holidays. Yes it can be lonely

I don't have my own family so its just me and the cat and the wild birds. It would have been nice if my life worked out different but it didn't so I just enjoy what I have and I am grateful for what I do have. Happy Easter Alice.
