Have you had therapy? It can really help.

Circles do free therapy.

Hope you're ok

I'm so sorry to know you are feeling sad, my heart goes out to you. I don't know whether you've considered joining a peer support group but Talking Forward was suggested to me on here and I've found them to be really helpful.

I'm so sorry you are feeling so alone and sad. Its such a period of loss. I too split with my husband after 18 years and understand the loneliness. Big hugs xx

Parkerpoo- I too send on my thoughts. These milestones are hard enough to cope with as it is - never mind the burdon of this journey on top.

You can be surrounded by people but still feel so isolated and lonely. All I can advise is look after yourself aim to be no 1 on your priority list.

Seek help or councilling if things get that bad, ask for help. I just decided I couldn't let the trauma we were going through take over me, I'm in good health and I had a lot to live for. My son in prison needed me, so this forced me to get off my knees and fight.

I still have many down times and blips but I set a task each day, try to keep occupied and carry on. You do have that strength in your heart, it's there and you will find it and eventually move forward. Honestly, you will.

a big hug of reassurance sent x

Hugs Parkerpoo1. I'm not an expert but "empty nest syndrome" is well documented but to have this on top of everything else, it must be heartbreaking. It might be a cliche but I'm sure things will get better over time. Look after yourself xx

Sending you love, hugs and support ??

My youngest just moved into halls at the weekend, a 4 hour drive away, and although I've got my 22 year old still at home, and my fiancé has moved back in, I miss her so much already and can't stop crying.

So I understand to a degree.



I had Covid last week and still feel poorly, so that isn't helping.

Huge hugs to you x
