I’m a widow of approx 3 1/2 years, 60 yo and, due to workplace harrassment, retired from work a year ago. Only human family I now have is large number of cousins in same town as me but majority don’t even keep in contact. Some years I might get invited by one cousin to join “rest of her family” (as was put to me in text message last year) on Christmas Day. My 2 cats are only family that I can rely on. I have very small number of friends who don’t understand I feel so lonely at times. I’m used to living alone which doesn’t worry me. Some times when feeling lonely to be able to chat online is all I need. Other times I crave human company, even if only for hour or 2. I have lots of hobbies that quite often have helped in the past. I’m in the process of preparing to move in couple months to a lifestyle village where has activities I will get involved in. Due to having listed my house for sale in February this year Ive had majority of my things in boxes since January. Find most days sitting on couch either playing computer games on my iPad or watch tv each and every day with my cats curled up beside me or on my knees.
