Thank you.
I lost my mum a year ago on Tuesday and I’ve been reliving every moment of the night she died. My sister and I were with her. It was horrendous. Then in June my boyfriend of 4 years decided he didn’t want to be with me anymore. I was devastated. I had been feeling that the relationship had run its course, he had two young children 12 and 8. He was 10yrs my junior. But I’m missing he company. Not the person or the actual relationship, just the company.
I work 9 to 5 for the NHS, I get home and lock the door and some nights I don’t speak to another soul till I go back to work the next morning.
I have 2 sons 31 and 21 and 3 grandchildren who I see once a week, but I’m still so lonely.
Sorry to waffle on.

I have also put on a stone in weight since mum died and am so overweight now I don’t even want to go outside the door.

It’s early days yet Lauretta. No wonder you feel the way you do.

You might think of joining a slimming club - it would be sociable as well as helpful - you might even make new friends there - worth a try.

In the meantime - you won’t be alone at night if you come on here and chat to us .:slight_smile:

Hello and welcome Lauretta from me too. :smiley:

Aww hello Lauretta. You’ve done something to help yourself by joining here and talking about your troubles. You’ve had a hard time, but you won’t always feel so low. Losing your mother would be devastating. Losing your partner is bad, but you deserve to be with someone who makes you feel good. A stone isn’t a lot in the grand scale of things. Sounds like a slimming club might be for you. Not just to lose weight, but to socialise. Joining the Ramblers was a godsend for me. Do you have a local group? You’ll turn a corner, honestly you will :hug:

Welcome from me too .

Hi Lauretta and welcome from me too … you have my sympathy but you can just log in to Over50s and have a chat any time :slight_smile:

16

Hi Lauretta, I’m new today too but I am sure we will both settle in and soon be feeling among friends. It looks like a lovely place here. You have been having a rough time and I know how you feel. Some company on here will help you through xxx

17

Oh Lauretta :frowning: that sounds dreadful.
I hope you will visit us regularly there is usually someone about posting :-).

18

Hi Lauretta welcome to the forum, there’s usually someone around on here to chat to most of the time. It sounds as though you’ve had a rough time of it but feel free to offload when the need arises.

Perhaps, as alice76 suggests, a local club may have something to offer you - have a scout round your area, maybe? :slight_smile:

Hi Lauretta, welcome to our forum. Please feel free to chat with us at any time, we are very friendly on here and will listen to you.

So sorry to hear about your Mum.

Take care, Susie xx
