Feeling all alone without a family

[Queenskooter]

I did have a family until my husband turned abusive and so I divorced him and had to start over right after getting out of a 10 month hospital stay that left me disabled. I almost died. They say I was lucky to make it but during my stay abuse happened that left me with PTSD. I had my daughter and my autistic son.My son passed away suddenly in 2018 of pneumonia and that left me and my daughter. We were a tight team so I thought until she met a pothead who sweet talked her and is draining her of her money. She just moved out leaving me all alone to try and make it alone on just my SSI. I feel all alone now. My anxiety is going crazy and I miss my son so much. My parents are gone who were so amazing and all my aunts and uncles gone. I sucks to be all alone with no family. Wondering if today is the day I might be homeless.

I can sympathize with you. I got sick suddenly just over a year ago. I finally had to go to the hospital. In argument that ensued with my roommate of 24 years, he kicked me out of the trailer I had arranged for him to get! I nearly died before making to the ER. I wound up homeless out of the hospital and spent 6 months in a shelter and 2 1/2 months in a home type shelter.

A month after joining this site, I met my sweetie on here and on Dec24 of last year, she flew from Florida to Ohio, got me and took me home with her. We were engaged the same day.

There is life after the loss of loved ones and/or betrayal. My family is all gone too. Parents, siblings and all. If not for my sweetie, I would be all alone too.

Take heart, there is a light at the end of tunnel. The people here on this site are all with you. Feel free to reach out to me anytime you need someone to talk to...or a friend.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your son.

You have had some very traumatic experiences.

Are you mobile after your injuries? Can you get out of the house and do things?

Maybe engaging with neighbors or some type of group activity would take away some of the loneliness? Support groups for people who have lost children?

There certainly are plenty of people to talk to here.
