Ever so alone in your life?

Question

* I remember feeling that way when my dad was killed by a passing car one evening. I had just spoken to him a few moments before he left the house but, I didn't realize it would be the last time I would ever speak to him. Although I had family and loved ones around...I just felt so isolated and empty.......

When was there a time in your life when you felt so alone..?
Ever felt like you were the only in this world who could understand you or there was nobody you could relate to etc.

I'LL TAKE YOUR ADVICE TO HEART AND LEARN FROM IT....UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE TO CHOOSE ONLY ONE BEST ANSWER................ :(

Answer 1

I'm sorry for your loss. My father also died unexpectedly and suddenly. I felt as you describe then & during other points in my life. Usually during a grieving process, though sometimes even when things are smooth sailing.

Once you're touched by loss and death, it never truly leaves you. I think you become more aware of just how precious time really is.

Answer 2

Yes I do feel that way more often than I should...Im sorry to hear about your father. Unfortunately I dont have a close-knit relationship with my own father so I can't imagine your pain. But I do know what its like to miss him dearly and wish he were actually there for you when you need a daddy to help you through personal concerns.

Think about the good memories of him. I know you must miss him but the family you have around is always there too and as you learned, you never know when the last time you speak to them will be as well. I always try to hang onto the little good memories that I have... Alotta times we take them for granted and dwell on negative matters instead of taking things one day at a time. The bad ones will only consume you with sadness and begin to fill in or slowly deteriorate the good ones, so keep your head up girl...

Although there are many people surrounding you, I know you still feel that emptiness inside like no one understands your grieving. I turn to God and thank him or just talk with him when certain interuptions occur in my life. Even something as simple a writing in a journal helps out with frustrations and misunderstandings that people around you may not sense or even get it. But the truth is, at some point everyone will feel that emotion you feel. They either have experienced it already and have learned to cope with it or havent gotten to that stage in their lives yet. Sweetie, don't shed any more tears of sadness. Look in the mirror, wash your face and crack a smile for YOU. I'm sure you deserve to be happy for yourself. Don't worry....Your days are looking better already...Be safe and Have a nice day!

And to answer your added details, yes I have felt alone ever since I was a young girl. All the way up to this date, I have struggled to achieve everything I have now on my own. I grew up very quickly and learned the word responsibility has more meaning than half of what people explained to me. But I would rather not get into a sob fest because I try to leave the past where it is...in the past. It may make no difference to tell you but when life throws it's curveballs you have to be able to step up to the plate and hit a home run....In the long run, it's definitely worth all the hardship...

Answer 3

I had a similar experience,, I had a ton of friends and family but when my dad died suddendly I felt like there was no reason for me to live and that I missed him soo much and felt so alone that I wouldn't ever be able to go on,, with alot of theraphy and meds,, I was able to work my way through that,, even though there are many times still ( it's been almost 6 yrs) that I miss him more than anything.
I write him letters alot,, and that helps.

Answer 5

Yes, I have been there. I lost my father when I was six, and I've experienced lots of loneliness in my life. If you ever want to chat, look me up.

Hi ya Denyse, thank you for the mail, and you're quite welcome. In my situation, my father was a mean drunk who killed himself. But none the less, when you lose a parent, nothing can replace that emptiness. So sorry to hear about you're father. I hope we get a chance to chat sometime.
Peace, John

Answer 6

I can imagine how lonely you feel. In my culture, people that have similar experience would think that the soul of our beloved has already ascended to heaven and would be watching over us from up there - happily. IMHO, that is a very, very good way to comfort our so lonely life on earth. That is also why over here, we often see smiles at funerals.

Answer 7

Sometimes yes, when no one validates my feelings.
We all need validation or we do feel alone.
I do know how you felt loosing your dad.
I am sorry for your loss.
Search around you and I am sure you will find someone to share that feeling or your loneliness feelings with. You really are not as alone as you think...

Answer 8

Yes I ever. I felt that no one care about me. I felt that I'm not belong in this world

It might sound lame...but i havent had the best life.*family wise* I never really "fit" anywhere but with him....and he got mad at me for something stupid, which wasnt like him, and left me...now im preg. with his baby....and he only comes around when he feels like it...and everybody says to just drop him...i want to but....i like that even if he doesnt come around all the time when he does...he gets me....if he never comes around..no one will ever completly understand who i am or why i am the way i am. good luck
