Can you recommend a forum for lonely people who are in the 50-70age range?

Question

My mom is terribly lonely these days and I often catch her crying.Every time I ask her what's wrong,she'll just say that it's
because "Life is so sad."Later,however,she told me that the best thing I can do for her is to find her a forum on the Internet where she can find someone whom she can chat with.She prefers people who are wholesome and not judgmental.I think it would also be nice if the people are more or less near her age(She's 59).Can anyone here recommend such a forum?
Please help us as soon as possible because she (I had observed) had become quite a loner.She really needs someone to talk to who (as she said) is not related to her in any way.The reason she prefers people who are not related to her is because she can talk freely with these kinds of people.
My conjecture is that,most probably,she wants to unburden something and she finds it hard to tell this to her family because it would hurt them so she prefers strangers(but,of course,these strangers should be nice).Pls.help!

Answer 1

Your mum could try delphiforums.com

You can be a member for free, or pay for membership and have increased privileges (such as fancy avatars, etc).

There are many, many forums on Delphi, ranging from sports, to cooking, home and family to feisty feminists, religion to arts and crafts, politics to prayer meetings. There are many members in the age group you mention.

The troll problem is not as bad as in many other places and many of the members are long time regulars with a welcome for 'newbies'. Many of the forums are also for discussion, friendly conversation and fun rather than debate.

Of course, she would have to work her way through which forums she liked or not (there are, literally, hundreds), but that could be fun itself.

I have been a member for a long time, and have found some great friends there.

Enjoy checking it out :-)

Well, I have a forum but it isn't full of 50 year olds. If she wants to she can feel free to check it out. The url is http://generationz.ipbfree.com . Last time I checked everyone there seemed to get along with pretty much anyone. Hope she likes it.

There is also an arcade there that my mom even likes to use sometimes.

Answer 5

Mom is suffering from depression. If she is not getting counselling from a Pastor or a proffessional she may need medication. Shad, I'm 54 years old and single for the time being. I have 2 sons and 3 grand daughters. I would be more than happy to chat with your mom.

Answer 6

Your mom must try JESUS.He will never leave her! In the quiet of her bedroom alone{with Him},she can talk to Him. Ask Him to be her friend. He will answer and she will never be lonely. I am sure He will also guide her to find Christians with whom she can fellowship and lead a productive life.
She should not limit her friends to the 50-70 age bracket.She can draw from her experience in guiding and advising young christians and find it very rewarding.

Answer 7

I doubt that talking to people that are her age will really make her feel better- it sounds like she is depressed- perhaps she should see a doctor and get medication.

You could also help her meet new people by volunteering at the hosiptals, local shelters, or even nursing homes. This may help her notice there is more to life than feeling miserable for herself. Help her enjoy life- not chat online-

Answer 8

It appears that your mom is depressed. And spending more time on the computer by herself would further alienate her from real people and might put her in danger to be taken advantage by pr editors. Try your church and see if they have any out ting or check your community center for alternative activities.

Answer 9

they have a chat room with 50 over i believe if you just put on 50 chat or soemthing like that i think you can find it or seniors and hit enter. i know there are places she could meet soemone even here to talk to actually 360 also is good place to meet people and they are all kinds you just have to focus it with 50 and up people there is place to set it for her and it will show her them older people

May be lavalife? You should try searching on Google, II'm sure there are many sites out there where she can find some one who is looking for the same thing as she is.
