Appreciate your families and no matter the issues iron them out.I feel like am existing and not living without family.No family and no one to love as an Immigrant in America.My brothers and sisters and I use to quarrel.I now know the value of family.I feel very empty without love and no one around me.

Can you contact any members of your family by phone?

Have you made any friends where you now live ? They can be your 'new' 'family'. Do you belong to a Church - have you made any friends there?

Sorry to hear you feel so empty and without love - but aren't you still loved? It's just that you cannot be with your loved ones at this time , not that they don't love you. It this likely to change? Are they going to move to where you are?

About your opening sentence - it takes two to talk. If one wants to and the other doesn't there is nothing the willing party can do, other than to pray.

Hope you are able to make some good friends soon.

Always remember that you are Precious and Loved ( we all are).

God Bless

I think I understand how you feel, I myself was an immigrant, age 22, knew no one here, left family back in UK. It is not an easy path to walk, especially now with this nasty virus. Can you as some one suggested, call them. If you belong to a church, reach out by phone or computer for company. There are a lot of us here that live by ourselves (me included), join a chat room, do your best to keep yourself occupied, write long letters, listen to nice music, read some good books, go on line there are lots of games to play. A lot to learn on some channels.

Try not to feel sorry for yourself, you are in a big pool of others by themselves, we feel for you, write to us, we are your new family, sending love and hugs.....Sprinkle 1......

p.s. if the weather is conducive go for a walk in the sun, we need the Vit.D and energy is good for our spirits.......
