I have a friend who I rarely see but he is a very lonely man and I really feel for him because he has no family and not too many friends. Partly because he is very blunt but he is a good person underneath all that. He doesn’t live close to us but we did manage to catch up briefly before Christmas. I am going to ring him tomorrow because I know Christmas is hard for him. Loneliness and depression are awful things. As a child I would often feel lonely because I had no brothers or sisters, especially during holiday times .

I agree. That would be a wonderful way to at least stay connected with another person who can communicate.

Have you considered joining a women's organisations? My good friend is a member of the National Women's Register (NWR). They have a wonderful sense of community and there are lots and lots of local groups across the UK. smile
The website is www.nwr.org.uk if you'd like to check them out? Sending hugs x
