Marye, I've been here alone since Wed nite when my Son & DIL brought over my groceries. Haven't heard from them since. This is par for the course as I live alone & only ask them when I can't get out because of the weather. My DGS is good to come help me clean, when he needs spending money, but that's about it.
I am going to move somewhere as soon as I can save up enough money, but that may take some time. I have a lot of medical problems and need to be near a large medical center & folks who can help me get to appts. The city I lived in for 10 yrs is 50 miles from here, so prob will go back there. They have the Vans that will pick up Handicapped folks, plus there is a Public Transportation System. I still have a SUV and can drive, but how long is a matter of my Physical Problems. I'm depressed by all this, but it's part of life.
Thanks for starting this topic. I've been doing this so long it's old hat. I hope the other folks who may be experiencing being alone will reach out to others. I fine it's easier to talk about subjects other than being alone when I'm depressed. They may feel the same. Please let them talk if they want to talk, but other than that let them carry the conversation if they will. Some may not want to talk, but that's OK. Maybe they'll ready be ready to talk soon.
