So you k...Thank you so much for your comment, Deb. <br />So you know lonely too, my friend. It sucks, doesn't it? <br />I'm feeling better. It's one day at a time in most things in life. And it's so nice to know that you are feeling better and that Katie is too. <br />It's ok that you don't write on your blog often, because when you do - it's a treat in all kinds of ways. I love to read it. Take good care.<br />Namastelivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9144492886967330098.post-51370766752102986232017-05-03T17:09:06.564-07:002017-05-03T17:09:06.564-07:00I'm so sorry Liv.

They make me smile.<br /><br />As for lonely, yes I've been lonely. Even with a husband, my ex-husband that is. So many days I was alone with Katie when she lived at home and I couldn't leave, couldn't do anything other than take care of her and it was hard and isolating and lonely.<br /><br />I hope you're feeling better now.My life so farhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721270441968035994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9144492886967330098.post-480946351415748132017-05-02T13:30:38.236-07:002017-05-02T13:30:38.236-07:00Dearest Elizabeth,

I write less and less on the blog and more and more offline. I am sorry that you are plunged into this lonely time of yearning, and I hope that it passes quickly, that you will find sustenance in those you know and love and who love you in return.

But they all helped and I am grateful for them.<br />I am feeling a little bit better so I can go to the the grocery store, etc. But still....you know.<br />I can not tell you (because I am just unable to find the right words) how much your comment meant to me. I really feel that you identify with my stuff (and I am sad you do) better than most. I think your blog makes people think that you have a pretty darn perfect life, but sometimes we suffer deeply behind our image. I'm never going to make the mistake of thinking that again. I'm never going to see only the outer and I am so very grateful to have you express yourself so honestly. It's a privilege to be let into your beautiful and very real life in this way. <br />You helped me, friend.livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9144492886967330098.post-30078967924706036022017-04-21T12:19:42.138-07:002017-04-21T12:19:42.138-07:00dear liv, i am so moved by your raw honesty here, ...dear liv, i am so moved by your raw honesty here, and i have been in that place that you describe, though I was lucky this year, in that I got through Easter unscathed. It is more usual that I languish in my house, feeling assaulted by the sun outside my window, feeling as if everyone else is celebrating together, and there is some gene I missed that would have told me how to do holidays. I hate holidays, too. I hope you know you matter to me. I have only recently found you, but you are such an openhearted soul, yes, kind, and I really want you to know that you are a cherished member of this loose online community we circle in. Sometimes, I lament the lack of comments, too; I think people are just busy, and so many bloggers I love have moved on, they no longer post, and I miss them with a fierce ache. These connections are real, and I am grateful for you, grateful for the way you speak your truth, unflinchingly, and yet generously. I wish I could take away your loneliness and pain. I hope today is a better day for you. And that you can feel from the comments here that you are so loved.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9144492886967330098.post-34852564567295337872017-04-18T04:06:37.592-07:002017-04-18T04:06:37.592-07:00I feel like this was written for me, so know you a...I feel like this was written for me, so know you are not alone.

But how about this? How about you choose a few blogs where you have been reading and commenting and your kindness is not returned. And just stop. Just stop. Because you deserve to have your love reciprocated. But the point is about teaching yourself that you are valuable. It will be a good small itty bitty building block to let go of some of the people who hurt you over and over again. <br />You are loved. You are.

Loneliness is indeed a terrible poverty of the worst kind. As a full time Caregiver the Isolation of it gets to me quite like nothing else. You can know many people, but in the painful moments, when we're dealing with Life's Issues, the reality of moving thru it as a solitary Soul can be quite overwhelming. The magnitude of that can crush the Spirit. The Holidays can be hardest when going through personal turmoil and in the Being and Feeling very much Alone. I was Thankful that this Holiday I could connect with some Loved Ones outside of the daily grind and refresh my Soul. The Silence from others when we're Going Through is sometimes deafening, so I do Hope that in having your Turn to bare your Heart and express your pain helped, to be Heard... I know it does for me here in the Wonderful Land Of Blog where I've had more than a few Rants. Big Virtual Hug coming to you from the Arizona Desert... Dawn...

Nothing lasts forever, certainly not the current illness, circumstances, depression or loneliness. In the meantime, we are all here for each other. Skip on over to Radish King's or Mary Moon's or a bunch of others, that's what I do when I need a boost. In the meantime, I am thinking of you in Canada.<br /><br />And I think Ellen is right, get a dog. Or a cat. I find cats particularly helpful and lucky.
