JSometimes I just need a Loving Cuddle

Sorry that was meant for Grandmill

Thank you Bridgeit appreciate that

Even with a husband cuddles are lacking. I get warmth from a hug with the dog. Hope you both feel stronger soon Msida and Deedi

Bridgeit good idea I never thought of that massage, when lockdown fully over

Deedi you don't have to explain about the loneliness I totally understand have felt exact same feeling and then knowing your going home to no one

Please don't apologise for talking about you it's so good to hear other people speak about things, when I read your words it touched my heart and made me feel much less alone knowing I wasn't the only person in the feeling that way because you do don't you, you feel no one else could also feel that feeling.

Treating yourself always helps good advice thank you so so much ?

Hi Msida I know what you mean. One of my adult sons gives the best hugs and I miss it so much.
I’m late 60’s and I had a low mood some weeks ago and bit of a wobble.
I longed for my dear dad’s comforting hug (he died many years ago)
I just think a lot of my ‘emptiness’ is because of this latest lockdown and having to shield. Today I did a quick shop at supermarket as I’ve been self isolating for many weeks. I was glad to be ‘out’ and see people milling about but it was strangely quite lonely. I can’t explain really how it felt.
Sorry my post has turned out to be all about me. I do hope you soon feel more upbeat we are having to go through a strange time but hopefully things will get easier for us all.
I believe a bit of pampering also helps a little - nice smelling candle a catchup program and a cup or glass of something delicious
Best wishes

A professional Massage and A Aromatherapy session can be equally as good, and sometimes better, depending on who gives it!

Sending a virtual hug???hope you feel better soon ?
