I feel people are pushing me away. Never felt so scared in my life.

Living alone for the first time in nearly 50 years after the death of my husband, I feel that I have lost all my confidence and don’t want to admit this to others as everyone thinks I am doing well and on the outside, this is what I project. In reality, I want someone to “make it better” even at my age. You always help clarify with common sense of how to keep moving. Thank you. Sue UK ❤

The worse part of losing someone. The silence is deafening. And Real
I don't feel lonely. I enjoy solitude.
But I miss that person and everything we shared
I was my wife's caretaker for 5 years. She suffered greatly from horrible effects from cancer. She finally passed in our home, in our bed and not in those torture chambers called hospitals RIP baby. You're in heaven with your mom and the angels
And most importantly, not suffering

I always feel like I dont belong here because I'm not experiencing grief specifically, but I've really been struggling with deep depression lately and I find myself relating to channels about death, grief or depression/suicide or just trauma survivors. So I certainly understand this deep feeling of loneliness. I certainly have lost my way in all aspects of my life. I always appreciate your videos.

I'm glad I found this video I lost my mom back in March of 2024 I just realized that the date is coming up again on the 24th😢 This has been the most excruciating experience I've been through my mom was my best friend, she loved me unconditionally. I'm an only child so me and her always had a special bond. I feel so lost. It's like this world feels a lil more cruel without her being here. She was my safe place. I don't have much family left I have an uncle and me him try to get together every now and then just to talk and catch up. I have 2 close friends but they are dealing with a lot themselves. My 2 children are grown and have lived of there own and I know they miss their grandmother but the grief hits different for me being she was my mom. I sometimes just wish someone would come along and make everything better , but I know I have to tough this out the best way I can. Some days are good , but the bad days are insufferable. I miss her so much. 😢

I got help in support group. I don't know what made me to go there, but I knew that I need help. Now I've got one person with whom I can talk about my grieving.

Out of 5 sibling I feel grief and regret more than any other. No one talks about our mom. I feel no one understands me.

I just lost my wife of 34 years on Tuesday. It was so sudden. I'm still in shock. This video is the best one I've found about dealing with the loneliness.

My husband, Lawrence Zello, passed away on May 16th, 2026, four days before our 26th wedding anniversary. Lawrence was on peritoneal dialysis for 3.5 years, and we did that here at home, but unfortunately, it stopped working. He was transitioned to hemodialysis. Lawrence had cardiac arrest following his first hemodialysis treatment. I'm essentially alone in my grief. This is, without a doubt, one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with in my life. Lawrence was my best friend and confidant.

I feel like I don't fit any where after losing my Grandmother and Dad in 2019-2020 and then my Mom in April of this year. I feel completely alone.

@Futurecorpz 1 year ago

Lost my mother last year and can’t face it yet. I don’t speak with the family i live with and the other two people i trust live far away. This was really helpful ❤

I lost the love of my life July 2025. I have never felt so alone in my entire life. I have friends and family. Few were really supportive tho. There were plenty telling me to just fake being happy cuz he wouldn't want me to be sad. 😢 But that felt like they weren't acknowledging my grief. I'm no longer friends with them to say the least. And this was someone that was supposed to be like family. 😢 It sucks, but it is what it is. Hard times really reveal who's actually in your corner. Definitely looking to see about either getting back to therapy or maybe groups. I used to text him everything I was feeling til someone else got his number then I made a album on FB just for him and all my thoughts to him. My friends and family can see it and IDC. It's my truth and things I want to say to him. I will always love him and someday we will be together again😢
