I am on my own after 40+yrs, with no family or friends nearby, days are long, and nights are longer, I do have 3 pets, who are my lifeline at this stressful time, chatting to like minded would help to ease the loneliness and isolation 🤗
 

Thanks Pinky, it is cold and wintry here in rural West Wales UK, with lockdown, there is nobody I can mix with, just the odd chat with postmen, and delivery drivers, so yes my pets keep me in a routine and of course dont argue etc, roll on spring, and the end of restrictions, the world is topsy turvy, with us all having to obey our govt masters without question, now I'm ranting, but it's been like living under war conditions, with so much misinformation from the media and science, 2021 has to be a better year surely!
Hannah, there are many others on the forum who are alone. It's great that you have pets, as they can be of such comfort. I'm sure there are topics of interest here for you to join in on. We are a welcoming and friendly bunch :)

Hi Hollydolly, where abouts in Herts are you? I lived in Boreham Wood and Bushey some time ago! 🤗
 
Hi Hannah I'm Ruth and I'm in the USA and alone too except for my pets who I cherish.

Welcome to SF! Great place to chat with many kind and fun and interesting folks! There are all sorts of conversations going on that you may enjoy getting into.

Welcome🐯🐨🐶😀
 
Welcome, Hannah.
That is sure a challenging situation for you, but it's great that you came here, and shared with us.

We're glad to have you join us.

There's a pet section here too, and we look forward to hearing more about yours, and telling you about ours, and other topics, so we are all less alone, and you will be, too. :)

IMHO, the best methods for combatting loneliness are developing new contacts (like you are doing here) and new interests. It can be a struggle, especially if you're prone to bouts of depression or sadness. You are likely to have to work hard at it. As with all good things, "no pain, no gain." Doing, seeing and learning new things builds brain cells/connections with all the good things that can follow. I was well into my 70s when I taught myself to program and operate a 3-axis CNC machine and it added a whole new dimension to my life. Anyway, that's my 2¢.
 
Hey there,Hannah
I’m Pat, I live in Norwich, NY, my kids are grown, I was widowed 15 years ago and I have 2 very spoiled fur babies that light up my life daily, Bella is a tuxie and Buddy is a mini panther and there’s usually some laughable shenanigans on a daily basis.
My parents were both born in Glasgow, my maternal grandfather was a coal miner, they died when we were young so don’t know a lot of details...
Anyway, WELCOME, this is a great group!
