Your daughter and grandson got a place of their own to live and now you are alone, you can get out more, make new friends, go to the dance, join a club etc you will enjoy yourself and you won't feel lonely. Also you can visit your daughter and grandson. Offer to have grandson for the whole weekend to give your daughter a break.

Answer 3

When my sister had her first child she was still in High School,so she lived with me and my parents...At the time I was only 10 or 11 and didn't really like having a baby in the house...Probably because I had been the baby for so long...But then she got engaged and moved out...Taking my little nephew with her!!!...Wasn't until he was gone that I realized how much I missed him...I felt to alone...Now we get to see him every Wednesday and every other week,and it's his mother that I miss...
But you'll be okay and your grandson and daughter will visit you,and call you...You wont have time to be lonely after you get use to it...I promise!!

Honey, it is a sad thing to go through, loneliness is the pits I am still struggling with it . Sure I was only married for three years barely any time. I know that my wife had left this world from my arms into the arms of the most holy and my brothers, I know she will be there onthe other side to greet me when it is my turn to throw off this mortal coil and" stand naked in the wind and melt into the sun". I too am all alone however I do have precious stepchildren as well as lovely grandchildren I am alone too. They do not live with me.

Answer 5

No, it's not only you my dear! We all experience it and I am certainly no exception. I do get some relief here with my good friends on Yahoo. At least you get support and you know you are not alone in your grief or feelings you may be experiencing. I love the humor here. There are so many wonderful people who lift your spirits when you need it the most.

Answer 8

All three of our children have lived with us at one time or another. One would move in, their friends would be over here, or the kids would go out and do their own thing, so whenever the older two moved out, I felt a big void in my life. Now we have the teenage boy who will eventually move out, probably in his third year of college. Fortunately, I have my hubby, so we can be in different rooms, but we know that someone is here. It can be lonely when my hubby and my son go to visit my mother-in-law for a few days and I only have the dogs for company, but I've always tended to be a little bit of a loner. While I may miss them when they are gone, I usually manage to find something to occupy my time, if it is playing with my dogs or going out and doing some window shopping. I guess I am fortunate becauseour kids don't live too far away to where they can't come with and visit at least once a month. But once my teenager moves out, it is going to be a really big difference in my life. Unfortunately, children want to spread their wings and eventually move out on their own. However, if you make a point of calling them every so often, inviting them over to watch a movie or eat with you, they are usually pretty responsive to that.
My mother had dementia and a mild case of Alzheimer's, and
I was not in the physical condition to take care of her at my house. She needed 24 hour care and woke me up a lot during the middle of the night. As badly as I hated to do it, I had no one else I could turn to for help, so I had to spend down her life savings on new clothes, bedding, and furniture for her and put her in a nursing home with a locked ward. Everytime I went to see her, I drove home crying because I hated leaving her in that place, but physically, I just could not take care of her because of injuries I suffered in a bad car wreck. I am not able to work anymore, have had a cleaning lady come in usually once a week for the past ten years, haven't been able to pick up our son once he got past 20 lbs., and even though my son and my husband helped me when they were at home, I still couldn't manage it. Mother lived two years after I put her in the nursing home and even though she made new friends, I know she missed me as much as I missed her. She had some of her family members come up and visit, but my poor mother deteriorated so fast in that nursing home, I can't help but feel that if I had been able to take care of her myself, that I might still have her around. And three months after my mother passed, I lost my father. I had lost my only sibling to brain cancer when I was 5 1/2 months pregnant with our son, and that was the only thing that kept me sane. So, even though I have my husband, my children, my grandchildren, and extensive in-laws and cousins, I still have a spot in my heart that aches for those family members that I have lost. Even though I still have my immediate family around me, I still get lonely sometimes because I am the last living member of our family of four. It's kind of depressing, so I don't dwell on the fact that they are gone, but do my best to enjoy each day with my husband and our teenage son. Even though we are going to move to the country and build a new house, I will try to do my best to stay busy with my animals, piddling around in the garden, reading books, and being on the Internet. That helps keep me from thinking about things that I can't change.

I think I know how you feel, Sweet Judy, even though I am not alone by myself most of the time. There are so many things that you can do to keep yourself busy to where you will learn to adjust to living by yourself and you won't be so lonely. Keeping busy is vital to not being lonely. Plus you have so many friends here on the Internet that really care about you and we enjoy answering your amusing questions a lot. You have made Y!A so much more fun since I met you because I follow your questions as a devoted friend. Try not to think about living by yourself because you will see that grandbaby and your daughter, plus I'm sure your daughter will let you keep the baby sometimes for an overnight sleepover. Hold your head up high and hang in there, sweetie. We love you and look forward to hearing from you every single day.

Take care of yourself and know that you are not truly alone. Finding some hobbies have helped me a whole lot, plus also having my dogs that slobber all over me every hour or so seem to make life a lot better when I start feeling lonely.

Hugs and Love to you,
