I feel so alone


My husband and two kids and my elderly mom are all I have now.  My brother and his family are gone. How do I cope with this?

It isn't easy, I'm sorry.

When I've lost people that I love I've found it useful to think about the good times, to feel grateful for our time together. When I catch myself feeling sadness at the thought of not seeing someone again I feel grateful for the shared memories that I have with them, and look forward to creating positive new memories in my life so that I can imagine telling them all about good things going on in the future. ((((hugs)))).

I came to believe that if I had my Higher Power, I could handle all the changes that life brought with courage, serenity and wisdom. Trust the process.

Thanks Betty.  I am hoping for that.  I was very co dependent growing up.  I was afraid to leave my mom.  I never got what I needed and I am overly dependent.  The only one to be dependent on is HP.  I want to feel like I can handle what comes, just like you. you give me hope.
